    Robert Gordon University

    Robert Gordon University – RGU – was founded in 1750 as Robert Gordon’s Hospital. It provided free residential education for the children of Aberdeen’s trade guilds. It added a Mechanics’ Institution in 1824 and became Robert Gordon’s College in 1881. It grew to incorporate the Aberdeen Mechanics’ Institute’s educational portfolio in 1884, By 1898 it […]

    Course Summary

    Robert Gordon University’s BSc degree in Applied Bioscience is designed to prepare students for exciting, rewarding careers in the life sciences. Your career choices are numerous, as an Applied Bioscience degree gives you the exact skills you’ll need to work in the environmental sciences, plant biology, genetics, molecular biology, bioanalysis, microbiology or many aspects of both the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries – both of which are growing rapidly in the UK.

    You’ll learn the background knowledge and laboratory techniques you’ll need to join in the fight against disease, protect or even repair the environment, or feed the world’s ever growing population.

    This course is delivered largely in the university’s cutting edge laboratories and other facilities. You’ll get practice with professional grade tools and techniques, grow cell cultures and do actual bioanalytical work. It will also address issues of bioscentific ethics and the ability to communicate your findings to the lay public.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning & Teaching

    Robert Gordon University relies on several teaching methods. However, almost all modules make extensive use of both formal lectures and more interactive tutorials. Students will typically spend 50 hours per semester in lectures, in groups of only 25 students. They will spend approximately 20 hours per semester in tutorial sessions and up to 10 hours per semester in seminars, again in groups of 25. Project supervision accounts for 50 hours per semester, and practical or lab sessions for another 30.

    Career Possiblities

    RGU’s BSc (Hons) in Applied Bioscience is heavily focused on employability. Bioscientists work in a broad range of settings in the UK and all over the world. Recent RGU graduates now work in the food and drink industries, in classrooms and learning institutions, at large and small biotechnology companies and in a very wide selection of research and development laboratories. Many others opt to pursue their academic career with a Master’s degree.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a BSc (Hons) degree.

    Students must typically have achieved 3 A Levels at CCC or better before they can apply, but other qualifications are also accepted. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no section lower than 5.5 would qualify, for example.
