There are many fantastic reasons why you should come and study biology, environmental studies or human sciences with us here at the University of Bolton. Here are a few of them:

• teaching consistently rated 'excellent' in quality inspections
• friendly and approachable staff
• small class sizes
• good facilities.

Bolton is a great place to come and study the life sciences. Great facilities on campus, being part of a large urban conurbation, and a wealth of field sites on the doorstep – a sort of outdoor laboratory if you like – are all drawn on to enhance your learning experience. 

The degrees offered at Bolton will give you a firm basis for your future career, as evidenced by the good employment record of our graduates. Our courses| are very well resourced, have been given excellent quality ratings, and are taught in small groups in an open and friendly atmosphere. 

Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds; some have strong academic qualifications while others bring their life experience to the course. We find that the understanding and knowledge which many of our students bring to seminars and group work from their previous or current roles greatly enhances the learning experience for all our students.

We take both full-time and part-time students. Our courses are flexible, and are available as combined honours degrees, either with other life sciences subjects or mathematics. Visit our courses| web page for a full list of the life sciences courses we offer.
