It is good. Love the community space read more

Downside is the amount of online/remote learning (50/50 to in person teaching) though staff are very involved in improving student experiences. read more

Immunology is an interesting field and great job done by the university teaching it on a bqchelors level read more
Microbiology, BSc Hons FullTime
Course provides a nice insight into the field with challenging work but not overloading most of the time. Many optional modules are available so you can shape your uni degree. read more
Biology, BSc Hons FullTime
It is a good course over all. The practicals are not upto the mark. As STEM majors, we have the minimum lab classes which also are done in pairs. Working in pairs isn't as hands-on and helpful as working alone. read more

Great tutors and lecturers. Field courses are so worth it too. The first year is a bit general but you can then choose more specialised modules read more
Biology, BSc Hons FullTime
A good course, although sometimes the lecturers aren't very relevant and haven't done research for over 30 years. The selection of personal tutors is terrible, they do not align with your own interests, which in biology can be extremely varied. read more

Zoology, BSc Hons FullTime
The first year is more oriented towards general biology knowledge, but its quite interesting anyways. The facilities are nice and the tutorial scheme is really helpful. The director of the course is really nice and innovative so a trip to Chester Zoo was organised for us in Welcome week and it was nice to meet people in the course. In the second year it begins to be more zoology directed and more interesting. Lecturers overall are pretty nice but some classes that are too much molecular biology related can get quite technical and boring, but apparently it gets better throughout the years. So far so great read more
Biology, BSc Hons FullTime
UoM is pretty awesome, there are so many things to do, in Biology and also in societies. The Biology course is pretty great; I’d say the teaching is fantastic and I am really enjoying my lectures (a first year student right now). I really like how varied it is, but if you don’t its really easy to switch courses at the beginning of Y1 or for Y2. I recently got to go on a field course to Mallorca, which was so fun, met so many new people, and even stayed a bit longer after they left to travel around alone. They really are flexible. Also the Biological Sciences Office brings in cute little dogs every so often for students to pet, which is adorable! The one thing I’d say is not great about Biology is that the society doesn’t do many socials etc, but I think that’s because they don’t get a lot of money from the Uni, sadly. But overall, I love my course, and UoM gives you loads of opportunities to get super employable. read more

- I do not think this course is worth £9250 per year - teaching is very hit and miss with some lecturers being inspiring and entertaining, some being the opposite - personally I have a very nice tutor (Jean-Marc <3) but for other people I know that isn’t the case - Course content, especially first year is very geared towards the medical side of biology - I’m not feeling optimistic about my career prospects, put it that way read more
Biology with Science & Society, BSc Hons FullTime
This course was excellent. The content was amazing and I think some of the units should be compulsory for all science students, as there is zero point in practicing science without a true understanding of its limitations and it's place in society. £9000 is too much for something that is lecture based. This course suffers due to the poor organisation of the life sciences faculty, which is an institutional problem for UoM. A problem for me was too few people on the course makes it hard to find your sort of people and make close friends. I hope this course is pushed and explained better in future, as I think many would enjoy it and a larger group is good both socially and academically. I feel like I have learned a lot from this course that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else. There is not enough guidance from the faculty for students doing this course, as all of their information pertains to lab heavy courses, with emphasis on biomed and biochem. We are forgotten read more
Life Sciences, BSc Hons FullTime
Don't pick life sciences- opt onto an actual degree programme from the start, and if you want to change at the end of first year you can. It really is pointless. It's a very small group which gives you minimum opportunity to meet people in lectures as your tutor group members all take different units, and it's extremely unorganised. read more

It's genetics, dude. I get to mess around with the genomes of fruit flies; what's not to love? read more
Zoology, BSc Hons FullTime
So far (first year) the course is very much just a biology degree so there are some modules that really don't interest me. Having said that the field course to South Africa is something I'm really looking forward to and next year looks a lot more zoology specific in the module choice! read more

everyone is so friendly and the lectures are really fun, interesting and varied , you get lots of help from supportive staff. The environment to work in is really good and there are so many resources availble to you. read more

First year is a lot of general Biology topics, with a lot of human biology, but the field course opportunities are amazing and well worth it. Second and Third year have more animal-related topics, which sound amazing read more

Medical Biochemistry, BSc Hons FullTime
You will learn how to apply biology-based science for medical use through research, health monitoring or treatment. You will benefit from the course's strong focus on practical experience, which provides a sound basis for a career at the forefront of medical research, as well as other roles both within and outside the lab. read more
