Applied Biosciences is a unique and new degree which will prepare you for a job in Life Science and Biotechnology. This degree is for people who enjoy hands-on experiences in the lab, much more than in many other biological degrees. The many skills and techniques you will learn are co-designed with industrial partners so they are highly relevant in a future job.
The unique structure of the degree involves learning the basics in the first year, gaining project lab experience in the second and a professional work placement in the final year.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
