    institution

    Royal Holloway University of London

    The Royal Holloway University of London was founded as 2 separate institutions in the 19th century. First was Bedford College in 1849, founded by philanthropist Elizabeth Jesser Reid. Nearly 40 years later, her husband Thomas Holloway founded the Royal Holloway College as well. Queen Victoria herself opened the Founder’s Building there in 1886. They remained […]

    Course Summary

    The Royal Holloway University of London’s BSc in Biology is very flexible, giving you a strong core of Biological knowledge, but allowing you to select form a wide range of elective modules at every stage, developing your own unique field(s) of expertise. You’ll also complete a substantial research project in your final year, with the guidance and assistance of an expert in your chosen field.

    Your core curriculum for the first year focuses on the core concepts of Biology and the Life sciences, giving you the grounding you need to take more advanced modules later. In year 2, you will focus more on Strategic Thinking, Management Techniques and Employability within your field. Year 3 will be spent primarily in preparing your individual research project, with the assistance of an assigned member of staff. You will also deliver an oral summary of your results.

    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.
