Life sciences are the study of living organisms, often referred to simply as biology but covering a wide range of specialisations such as botany, neuroscience, and zoology.

Students of life sciences gain an understanding of how the world works built from a foundation of scientific knowledge, as well as studying how to apply this knowledge to improve life, the environment, and the world as a whole.

Life sciences graduates are valued around the world, as their work and research can directly impact people's lives as well as the world around us. As life sciences students often focus on one specialism that informs the majority of their studies, their expertise is desirable within those fields.
