If you are studying the below courses, please note the following:

Bioscience Education BSc

Students on the Biochemistry BSc, Medical Physiology BSc or Molecular Genetics BSc programmes can study abroad for the first semester of their second year, remaining on a 3-year degree OR study abroad for an additional full year in their third, converting their degree into a 4-year version of the programme. Students on the Biomedical Science BSc, Neuroscience BSc, Pharmacology BSc, Anatomy, Developmental and Human Biology BSc, Molecular Genetics BSc can only study abroad for an additional full year in their third year, converting their degree into a 4-year version of the programme. Those students cannot study abroad for a single semester in their second year.

Bioscience Education MSci

Students have the option study abroad for the first semester of their second year at either the University of California or the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill.
