Biosciences and medicine

The biosciences help us to understand fundamental life processes, from the behaviour of single cells to entire ecosystems. There’s always something new to discover in this broad area of science. As a biosciences student, you’ll investigate life in all its forms and gain skills that could transform and improve lives.

By joining us at Surrey you will:

  • Have access to our £12.5 million Innovation for Health Learning Laboratory, so you can gain practical experience valued by a wide range of employers
  • Learn from lecturers who are active researchers in antimicrobial resistance, biotechnology, clinical bacteriology, systems biology, virology and much more
  • Study among highly satisfied students, as we are ranked top 5 for biosciences, microbiology and veterinary sciences and top 10 for nutrition and dietetics and sport and exercise sciences in the National Student Survey 2023*
  • Have great graduate prospects - 94 per cent of our undergraduate and 100 per cent of our postgraduate taught and postgraduate research biosciences and medicine graduates are in employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2023, HESA).
