Pre-/Co-requisites
First level units that are pre-requisites for second or final year units
Listed below are second and final level units from the School of Biological Sciences which have first level units as a prerequisite. If a unit has prerequisites, this means that you may need to take the prerequisite unit(s) in order to take this unit. For example, BIOL10221 is a compulsory prerequisite for BIOL20332, therefore, if you do not take BIOL10221 in your first year, you will not be able to take BIOL20332 in your second year. Your first year choices can therefore influence what is available to you in subsequent years of your Degree Programme.

The above resources will enable you to identify the mandatory units you will be studying and you should have consulted the individual course unit profiles on the intranet to identify optional units you feel you would enjoy. However, don’t worry if you are unsure of your choices as you will finalise your selection of optional units with your Programme Director during Welcome Week and can change your optional units for a short time after they have started.
