University entrants

In the majority of cases our Biology students go on to use their biology in degrees such as Dentistry, Medicine and Veterinary Science rather than purely biological sciences. This is indicative of the subject’s flexibility and applicability across a broad spectrum of degree subjects. In 2011 the school had 18 students go on to read Medicine, one to read Veterinary Science and eight to read biological science courses, such as Biochemistry.
