About this course
Details about course variation options.
UCAS code: C101
This programme includes a professional placement year between the second and final years, which will enable you to gain valuable experience from working in an appropriate business or industry with services in biological research, analysis or consultancy, in the UK, EU or USA.
As well as increasing your first-hand knowledge, a professional placement will also improve your personal and transferable skills and will help make new contacts and enhance your employability.
We have established collaborations with local, national and multinational organisations.
Previous placement destinations include:
During your placement year you will take two modules: Learning from Industrial Experience and Industrial Placement and Report. You will have regular contact with an academic supervisor in addition to a supervisor at the company.
It is your responsibility to decide which placements will be suitable for you financially. We present ideas of paid placements and those that have a stipend and/or accommodation.
If you spend a full year on a work placement (in the UK or abroad) you will pay a reduced fee. Find out more online.
You can apply to BSc Biological Sciences with Professional Placement directly through UCAS using the code above. Once at Exeter, progression to the Professional Placement year is dependent upon successful completion of your Year 1 studies, with an average mark of at least 65%.
The placements are sought during the second year of study and start the following October. You are responsible for applying for positions, with direct guidance from the Professional Placements Co-ordinator.
