Biological sciences: Addressing global challenges while building a successful carcom

These goals address a wide range of global challenges, including climate change, the biodiversity crisis, and pressing health issues like antibiotic resistance and cancer. Biological scientists play a crucial role in tackling these challenges and can also benefit from the diverse career opportunities available to them.

Biological sciences and the sustainable development goals

A Bachelor of Science (BSc) in biological sciences typically offers students a broad foundation across the discipline, covering topics from molecular biology to ecology. These programmes teach foundational knowledge about life on Earth including the origins and diversity of life, the function and behaviour of living organisms, and the interactions between animals and their environment. In later years of study, students have the opportunity to choose subjects that align with their interests, enabling them to tailor their programme to their personal and professional goals.

Regardless of the exact subjects studied, a biological science degree will equip students with the knowledge and skills to tackle many of the SDGs, particularly those focused on health, environmental sustainability, and biodiversity.

SDG 3: Good health and well-being focuses on the importance of having effective global healthcare systems, coupled with the advancement of medications. Targets include the eradication of the AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis epidemics, as well as the identification of treatments for rare tropical diseases.
