"summary": "Develop your knowledge and research skills in a variety of biological sciences and specialise in areas which interest you the most.\n\nOur course provides you with a broad understanding of biological sciences including biomedical sciences, microbiology, animal and marine biology and immunology. The Biological Sciences degree allows tailored learning to your individual interests. There will therefore be some aspects that are similar to the other degree structures, but allowing flexibility.\n\nYou'll benefit from studying in Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside which is rich in biodiversity, and visit local sites of outstanding natural beauty and special scientific interest.\n\nYou’ll develop biological skills relevant to your chosen area, such as good laboratory practice, competence in microbiological techniques and field surveying.\n\nIn second year, students do have the option of undertaking 'Volunteering and Employability'. This can include an element of work placement.\n\nThis course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.\n\nPlease visit our website for full course and module details.",
