1 Programme Specification Awarding Body/Institution Teaching Institution Queen Mary, University of London Queen Mary, University of London Name of Final Award and Programme Title BSc (Hons) Biology Duration of Study / Period of Registration QM Programme Code / UCAS Code(s) QAA Benchmark Group 3 years C100 Biosciences FHEQ Level of Award Level 6 Programme Accredited by Date Programme Specification Approved 17 Apr 2012 Responsible School / Institute School of Biological & Chemical Sciences Schools also involved in teaching part of the programme Programme Rationale The rationale for the C100 Biology programme is to provide training in the biology of animals, plants and other forms of life in both micro-organismal and macro-organismal groups. The programme is the most flexible on offer within SBCS and it offers the opportunity to study biology at all levels of organisation - ranging from the molecular to the cellular/organ levels, and from the organismal to the environmental levels. The programme includes training in fundamental topics and principles applicable to all biologists, such as taxonomy, evolution, molecular genetics and the cell as a biological unit. More specialised training is available should the students wish to refine their module choices - for instance by aligning their studies into more physiological versus ecological aproaches to biology. The programme prepares students for further study at the postgraduate level (M.Sc and Ph.D) and careers that require knowledge of biology. Educational Aims of the Programme The specific purposes of the programme are to: C100 Biology is designed to provide students with an understanding of the living world across a wide range of levels of biological organisation, from molecules to ecosystems. Students will be able to choose to specialise on particular fields within biology or to take a more integrated approach to their degree by covering a broad range of modules (subject to timetabling constraints see below). Due to the flexible nature of the degree, students can tailor the degree to a large extent, to suit their own particular interests and educational objectives. Students following this programme will receive instruction in key biological concepts, the theories that underpin these concepts, and the applications of biological knowledge to important problems facing the world today (e.g., emerging human diseases; climate change). In addition to developing key biological skills, students will also develop essential transferable skills that will further strengthen their future career prospects. Furthermore to:
2 Provide a rational, flexibly structured and coherent programme of study which is relevant to the needs of employers, facilitate the professional development of the student and lay the foundations for a successful career to the benefit of the economy and society; provide a sound knowledge base in the fields studied and develop key transferable skills in the areas of communication, numeracy, information technology, working with others, problem solving, time and task management; foster the development of an enquiring, open-minded and creative attitude, tempered with scientific discipline and social awareness, which encourages lifelong learning. Learning Outcomes The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, skills and other attributes in the following areas. The programme outcomes are referenced to the relevant QAA benchmark statement(s) (see above) and the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (2008), and relate to the typical student. Additionally, the SEEC Credit Level Descriptors for Further and Higher Education 2003 and Queen Mary Statement of Graduate Attributes have been used as a guiding framework for curriculum design. Knowledge and understanding of: A 1 A 2 A 3 A 4 A 5 A 6 biology as a whole, with the possibility for students to specialise on particular areas (e.g., whole organism biology as opposed to more biochemical, molecular or microbial aspects) or to take a more holistic overview of the discipline by integrating across a wide range of fields. This is the most flexible programme offered within SBCS, as students are fee to take a wide range of options (excluding specific biomedical modules). how biological systems operate over a range of levels of organisation, from molecules to ecosystems. appreciation of the importance of variation in biology (e.g. genetic diversity within humans; biodiversity and species richness in ecosystems) and how to deal with it (e.g. via data handling and use of statistical techniques). the dynamics and structure of biological systems (e.g. protein structure; enzyme kinetics; population dynamics). cause-and-effect relationships and the role of experiments in testing (and developing) biological theories. Students should develop a knowledge of the general scientific process, and how it is applied to biological systems in particular. how biological systems respond to perturbations (e.g. infections of pathogens; climate change in ecosystems) and to recognise the symptoms of those responses (e.g. disease in humans; global species loss). Intellectual skills - able to: B 1 B 2 B 3 B 4 B 5 Reason critically. Integrate theory and practice. Identify and formulate problems. Apply biological principles to the solution of problems. Analyse and evaluate/interpret the results of controlled experiments.

Apply biological knowledge and problem solving skills in a wide range of theoretical and practical situations. Assess the relevance, importance and reliability of the ideas of others. Ability to locate information and be competent in the use of computer-based technology. Awareness of the role and impact of science in society. Practical skills - able to: D 1 D 2 D 3 D 4 D 5 D 6 D 7 D 8 D 9 Conduct practical work efficiently and with due regard for safety. Use a wide range of laboratory and analytical equipment. Retrieve, filter and collate biological data from a variety of information sources. Prepare scientific/technical reports. Use advanced theories and concepts to explain biological phenomena. Apply biological knowledge to the solution of a wide range of problems. Use a range of computational tools and packages. Take notes effectively. Subject to areas of specialisation, plan, undertake and report a bibliographically-based piece of research.
4 Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategies A. Knowledge and understanding Acquisition of knowledge is achieved mainly through lectures and, in some cases, directed independent learning. Understanding is reinforced through a combination of tutorial workshops, problem classes and laboratory classes (depending upon the module concerned), including regular feedback on submitted work. Additional support is provided through the self-access facilities of the QMUL Student PC Service. Assessment Testing of the knowledge base is generally through a combination of unseen written examinations and assessed coursework. The exact nature of the coursework varies from module to module and may include work in the form of laboratory experiment write-ups, essays and/or problem sheets. The coursework mark may also include a contribution from computer-based assessments and in-course tests. Specific modules (if taken) include assessed oral examinations, oral presentations and extended reports/dissertations. Programme Sructure(s) and Requirements, Levels and Modules Students are required to register for modules to a value of 120 credits (normally eight modules) in each academic year; normally consisting of 60 credits (four modules) in each semester.
