A highlight of the year two curriculum is the international field trip, with eachÊadventureÊfocusing onÊaÊkey theme,Êfor example:Êconservation in practice inÊMadagascar,Êor preparation for climate change in farming communities in Nepal.

Year three provides that all-important chance to experience some essential and exciting subjects designed for your future career focus either in biomedical sciences or environmental sciences. Some of you may wish to complete a five or 30-week placement in industry. In year two you will have the opportunity to choose to study specialised units that are of interest to you and your future career plans, this specialisation can be carried forward as your independent research project in your final year.Ê
