BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences specialising in Biophysical Science
Apply the distinctive approaches of four disciplines to the study of biological structures, from the molecular level to whole organisms and ecosystems.
You'll gain a valuable grounding in the quantitative methods of biology, chemistry and physics and use them to understand the structure and complexity of the biological world.
World renowned Professor of Biological Physics, Mark Leake, has spearheaded the formation of the Biological Physical Sciences Institute here at York. The institute has drawn together academics from a wide range of disciplines, enabling collaboration on projects including face recognition, imaging the brain, improving rice yields, and using low temperature plasmas as potential cures for cancer.
With more than 75 principal investigators and up to 150 researchers from across the physical and life sciences, York research into the biophysical sciences shows impressive depth and range. As a student here you will be able to tap into the knowledge and experience of lecturers who belong to this thriving intellectual community.
