Biological Life Sciences
Explore all aspects of biological and life sciences in this strand. Biology is the study of life, from the microscopic bacteria on our skin to the enormous blue whales inhabiting the oceans. As biologists, we ask questions about living organisms and how they interact with their environment. We try to understand the weird and wonderful things that we observe, and why these vary among different individuals and species. This strand will cover a wide range of specialisms within biological sciences.

Activity locations
All subject activity sessions will take place on the University of Exeter Streatham campus and St Luke's campus.
From investigating the functions of microscopic cells to helping world-class athletes perform for crowds of millions, science plays a key role in our understanding, maintenance, and treatment of the human body.
The Biological, Human, and Sport Sciences subject activity strand combines three of our key disciplines – Biosciences, Sport and Health Science, and Nutrition – to introduce students to the huge range of study options, research, and career pathways available within the field of science. Participants will develop key skills and insights into our courses, and have the opportunity to learn from academic staff, researchers, and current undergraduates about their jobs, lives, and ambitions at the University of Exeter.
This subject activity strand has contributions from the following degree programmes:
- BSc Sport and Health Sciences (including Exercise Sport and Health Science)
- BSc Nutrition
- BSc Biosciences (including Biochemistry)
In the event that this subject activity strand is oversubscribed, priority may be given to students studying A Level Biology or one other science* subject at A Level or IB.
*Accepted science subjects: Biology / Human Biology; Chemistry; Computing; Design and Technology; Economics; Electronics; Environmental Studies; Geography; Geology; Life and Health Sciences (Double Award only); Marine Science; Maths / Pure Maths / Further Maths; Physical Education; Physics; Psychology; Science (applied); Sport Science; Statistics.
