Second level units with pre-/co-requisite units
Listed below are all of the second level units from the School of Biological Sciences with pre-/co-requisite units. If a unit has pre-/co-requisites, this means that you may need to take the prerequisite unit(s) in order to take this unit. For example, BIOL10221 and BIOL10521 are compulsory prerequisites for BIOL20332, therefore, if you did not take these units in your first year, you will not be able to take BIOL20332 in your second year.
Bold indicates a compulsory prerequisite, italics indicate a recommended prerequisite.

Second level units that are pre-/co-requisites for final level units
Listed below are all of the final level units in the School of Biological Sciences which have level 2 units as pre-/co-requisites. If a unit has pre-/co-requisites, this means that you will need to take the prerequisite unit(s) in order to take this unit. For example, BIOL21111 is a compulsory prerequisite for BIOL31311, therefore, if you did not take BIOL21111 in your second year, you will not be able to take BIOL31311 in your final year.
