Do you study organisation in a standard biology degree?

I'm trying to decide between a biology and biochemistry degree, leaning towards the biochemistry degree for a while as it is less plant/evolution focussed and has a focus on genetics, but recently I'm gravitating towards the biology degree, as right now I love learning about all the systems in the human body.

I'm trying to find out what a biology degree would consist of, but there are no online lectures I can watch, and the course structure section on Uni websites are useless and barely go into detail.

Could anybody doing a biology degree (even better you go to Bath, or Bristol) let me know if you do actually learn about anatomy, systems, etc.? From what it seems to be online, it's very ecology and evolution focused, but as I said, it is extremely vague.

Hello @bleary-rubbing 👋

It's really great to see that you're doing so much research about what you're wanting to study at university so that you can make the right decision. 🎓️

I'm not sure whether you've had a look at the University of Essex, but we offer both BSc Biological Sciences and BSc Biochemistry - if you scroll down on the page to Structure, you can see what modules are available, and then explore them further on our Module Directory to find out more details and about the assessments. 🔬🧪

You can also Speak to current Essex students through Unibuddy chat | University of Essex 💬

Let us know if you have any other questions 😀
