Why You Should Study a Life Sciences Degree
By Laura Bridgestock
Updated November 2, 2017 Updated November 2, 2017OK, but what actually are ‘life sciences’?
However, there’s much more to this field than just dissecting frogs or identifying parts of the body. At Warwick, three different undergraduate programs are run by the life sciences school: biological science, biochemistry, biomedical science. While the first of these adheres fairly closely to the biology lessons you’re used to, the other two offer different and unique avenues of study that could be perfect for your range of interests.
Combine your interests into one life sciences degree
Gain practical experience in industry before you’ve even graduated
Still not convinced?
Maybe this will help. From 2018 onwards, the University of Warwick is offering International Life Sciences Excellence scholarships to undergraduates, which will reduce your course costs by £5,000 (US$6,600) for the first year of study. Scholarships are awarded to students based on past academic achievements, motivation to study, extracurricular activities and their vision for the future, and anyone with an offer to study a life sciences degree at the university can apply.Thought that might tempt you.
