Boost for Biology
12th April 2011
The University’s Biology BSc award has achieved recognition by the Society of Biology. Bath Spa is one of only four new universities to have been given this status by the UK’s professional body for the subject.
Dr Samantha Lane, senior lecturer in Biology and Nutrition, said: “We’re very excited about this. Not only does it show we have a quality course but it will be good for students, as they will fulfil the criteria for becoming Associate Members of the Society upon graduation.”
The recognition will demonstrate to potential employers a commitment to being a professional biologist. Graduates will also be able to use the distinguished post-nominal letters AMSB (Associate Member of the Society of Biology) after their name. They can then apply for full membership after appropriate work experience and take advantage of the support and continued professional development the Society offers.
