This course allows you to spend a year of study at an overseas institution as part of your Human Biology degree. The international year is intercalated between the second and final year of your course, making this a 4-year course. Recent exciting advances, such as the human genome sequence or research into stem cells, have intrigued us all with their promise of new ways to treat complex diseases. Over the next decade, we will start to see the impact of these developments in our daily lives, but none of this would be possible without human biology. As a Birmingham student you will learn from world-leading experts. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent thinker, however, you will also have plenty of contact with the staff who teach you. Graduates of the University of Birmingham are highly regarded among employers in the UK, and a Human Biology degree from this University is an excellent qualification for securing your future career in a diverse range of industries and employment sectors.
