In this course you will gain invaluable lab and analytical experience whilst studying with Life Sciences, and will apply that knowledge to our current understandings of climate change, social justice, and food security. Use your passion for Life Sciences and apply it to answering the Big Questions of our time by studying it in combination with Global Sustainable Development (GSD). Our students are aspiring global citizens with social consciences. They are flexible, adaptable and broad minded. What challenges does the natural world face in the wake of unprecedented human impact upon the environment? How might new research and innovations in the Life Sciences work to secure the future of sustainable societies by countering infectious disease and biodiversity loss? You’ll investigate a range of current global challenges; considering these from many different perspectives in order to appreciate their complexity and you’ll learn to use a variety of approaches to think creatively about potential solutions. We’ll challenge you to become an active participant in your own learning and help you to develop professional skills through certificates you’ll complete as part of the course. You’ll also have the opportunity to spend part of your second year studying abroad at our partner institution in Monash, Australia – home to the world-leading Sustainable Development Institute. Our degree programmes have been developed to provide you with a set of skills that will enable you to compete for existing and emerging roles across a variety of professions.
