Biosciences and medicine

Biosciences help us to understand fundamental life processes, from the behaviour of single cells to entire ecosystems. You can always discover something new in this broad area of science. 

As Surrey, we have a vibrant biosciences and medicine research community and an innovative teaching and learning environment. 

  • The Guardian University Guide 2020 ranks us in the top 10 for biosciences
  • The National Student Survey (NSS) 2019 places us 7th for overall student satisfaction in Animal Science
  • An Innovation for Health Lab and the Student Project Lab for final-year student projects.
