BSc (Hons) Human Biology with Foundation Year and Placement Year

• Develop an advanced understanding of human anatomy, physiology, cell biology, reproduction, genetics and biochemistry.
• Develop your confidence and ability to work at the cutting edge of human biology.
• Apply your knowledge to real-world experience with year-long or summer placement opportunities available.
• Transfer onto an MSci route for a specialist year of research intensive study working alongside our internationally recognised researchers

You will learn how genomics, biotechnology, stem cells and lifestyle interventions impact on the human body. The knowledge you will gain will provide an understanding of the latest advances in this field.

If you don't meet the entry requirements for our BSc (Hons) courses, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the foundation year. You will build your confidence in biology, chemistry and maths, and apply your theoretical knowledge in practical laboratory sessions. You will also familiarise yourself with Sheffield Hallam’s staff and facilities — ensuring that you are fully prepared to begin at degree level study.
