Degree Recognition

Degree Recognition

The recognition of degrees with over 50% biological content is an important part of the our support for interdisciplinary and combined degree programmes.

The primary aims of recognition are to:

• support the standing of individual courses and departments
• support students wishing to maintain an interest in biology, and guarantee to potential students that a degree programme can meet the educational requirements for Associate Membership of the Society upon graduation (AMSB) and provide a route to full Membership (MSB) following appropriate professional experience
• encourage the study of biology and related subjects where they appear throughout the HE sector.

 A list of recognised courses is available upon request by contacting the education team.

Calling all University Departments!

The cost for Recognition starts at £500 (one degree pathway) however if your institution wishes to seek recognition for further pathways please contact the Head of Education.
