As an undergraduate you’ll be supported from the moment you get your grades. Our award-winning online, interactive Preparing For Your Biology Studies module will connect you with other students and introduce you to our staff and facilities, so you know what you’ll experience when you arrive.

And once you’ve settled into our beautiful campus, our collaborative introductory modules will support you to get to know other students and start learning together.

Explore locally and globally

Norwich and East Anglia offer up lots of local opportunities for trips and connections to support your studies. We have regular collaborations with Banham Zoo, Africa Alive, The Bug Parc and Watatunga - a wildlife safari in Norfolk where hands-on, practical experiences support your theoretical study.

Beyond these shores we offer national and international fieldwork opportunities including field courses in Africa and Peru.
