WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY BIOLOGY, ZOOLOGY AND MARINE BIOLOGY AT SALFORD? / Travel Opportunities If you are studying on our Zoology and Marine Biology courses, you will have the opportunity to participate in a number of field trips, both in the UK and internationally. From visits to local zoos and residential field courses in Wales, to international trips in the Tropics and Kavala, Greece, you will have plenty of opportunities to develop your practical skills, and gain real-world context for your assignments.

Biology students will also have also have the opportunity to travel through optional modules on the programme, as well as the option to spend your second year studying at the University of Toledo, Ohio, which is considered a top global player in taking research from the laboratory and out into the world! / Societies At the University of Salford, we have a range of student-run societies which cover all aspects of student life, from academia to sports, politics to the environment, performance to faith.

From Biomedical Science to Climate Change to Wildlife, you will find a group of likeminded students and a place to socialise, relax and enhance your skills. There is also the Steminists society, supporting female students across STEM subjects and promoting gender equality for all.
