Centre for Bioscience, The Higher Education Academy


Bioscience Students

The UK Centre for Bioscience supports the learning and teaching of biosciences in higher education. Most of the work we do supports you through helping your teachers and lecturers. However, we do have information and resources which can help you in your studies and also in areas such as your career planning. These pages bring together information and resources from our web site that may be of interest to you as a student.

Student Award

Student Award logoOur annual Student Award is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience students and gives you the opportunity to win up to £300 for sharing your opinions and experiences of your bioscience course. Past questions have included "How would you advise new bioscience students to make the most out of practical work?" and "Given your degree, what are you looking forward to in the future?" You can gain points for your CV and get your work published.

Student Short Guides

The Centre has a series of Student Short Guides which bring together advice and information for bioscience students. There are currently 5 guides available, from making the most of your practical work, to thinking about where your bioscience degree could take you. Read and download the Short Guides.
