The School of Biological Sciences together with The Institute for Global Food Security has a well-established international reputation for our impactful research, designed to help meet global challenges. We are ranked 1st in the UK for Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Sciences (REF 2021) and we aim to develop solutions to the urgent global challenges that we face today in the areas of human, animal, plant and environmental health, the sustainable exploitation of living resources, food security and rural development.
Our growing community of international students also benefit from our excellence in education, demonstrated by our strong international subject ranking (Top 200 in the world for Life Sciences QS WUR by subject 2023). Recently opened, our new school building, provides world-class facilities for our students.
The School of Biological Sciences have established a variety of links and partnerships with global institutions which support our aim to address key global challenges.
Be part of a world-class international university with a thriving culture built on teaching excellence, leading-edge research, innovation, collaboration, and engagement. We regularly organise events and talks in the school for our international student community.
Graduates from The School of Biological Sciences underpin and help facilitate future economic growth both locally and internationally.
Our School has five current doctoral training programmes (DTPs)/ Centre for Doctoral Training programmes (CDTs) - QUADRAT, Food Biosystems, NorthwestBio, OneZoo and SUSTAIN.
These DTPs/CDTs offer prestigious UKRI high-quality funded PhD opportunities that equip students with world-quality skills in biological research. These comprehensive training programmes provide the next generation of scientific leaders with the necessary skills to address global challenges, facilitate enterprise and future economic growth both locally and nationally.
Our School is committed to internationalisation and students are encouraged to take advantage of the global opportunities available, whether that be studying abroad or undertaking an international work placement. We believe such experience to be important to help prepare our students to become true global citizens.
