BSc Biology with Psychology C1C8
Biology with Psychology is designed for students who wish to gain an insight into the biological phenomena governing human behaviour. Students can tailor the course towards their own biological areas of interest and link these subjects to teachings on aspects of physiology and cognitive psychology. The degree provides students with a balanced mixture of scientific analytical skills and communication and interpersonal skills.
Specialist facilities
This course is taught jointly by biology staff in the Lancaster Environment Centre and the Faculty of Health & Medicine, and the Department of Psychology, so students benefit from the excellent complementary facilities which these Departments have to offer. All staff in these areas are research active, and many of them are recognised as international leaders in their fields.
