A-levels: typical offer AAB/ABB, normally including at least two relevant science subjects from Biology (preferred), Chemistry, Physics or Maths. We may consider two AS-levels in place of one A2-level. General Studies not accepted.
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system: the brain and the vast number of essential functions that it controls, including learning, memory, sensation, motor control and human behaviour. On this course you will work alongside leading neuroscientists who are investigating some of the most important questions in neuroscience research in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of human neurological disease.

Physiology is the study of how the body works from the subcellular level up to the whole animal. In disease, pathophysiological mechanisms interfere with the function of body systems. Pharmacology is the study of drug design, drug targets and drug therapies. You will learn how drugs interact with cells and tissues to control disease.

On this course you will explore theoretical and practical aspects of animal biology and biodiversity including animal behaviour, development, ecology, evolution and animal physiology. You will gain a comprehensive, up-to-date understanding of the approaches and practical experience of the techniques that zoologists use to tackle some of the most important questions in neurobiology, behaviour, ecology and evolution. Your lab work and lectures will be supported by fieldwork, including overseas field courses.

As the knowledge base in the biological sciences grows exponentially and technology becomes ever more sophisticated, the ability to think broadly about biology and to apply your knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines will inevitably become a very valuable and powerful asset both in scientific environments and in many other walks of life.
Chemistry is the fundamental cornerstone for many economically important industries today, creating a demand for high quality chemistry graduates. The constant desire for innovation, new products and new solutions continually drives forward research and development. By studying the interaction of molecules, their structure and properties, we learn vital information about the world we live in and this offers opportunities to find answers to many of the problems we, as a society, face today.
EPQ with A-levels: BBB + EPQ at grade B. A-level subjects to include Chemistry. Two AS-levels considered in place of one A-level. General Studies accepted.
Improvements in analytical techniques have led to advances in forensic science. Resonance Raman spectroscopy can be used to detect painting forgeries; DNA fingerprinting, discovered at the University of Leicester, can be used to place a suspect at a crime scene; modern chromatographic techniques combined with mass spectrometry can be used to detect steroids or their metabolites in urine. These are just some of the many examples of how improvements in chemical analysis have been applied to forensic investigations.

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people throughout the world. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change.
