Assembling the pieces of nature’s puzzle of global environmental and medical challenges requires a dedicated scientific approach. Taking your biological sciences studies abroad means the opportunity to investigate the anatomy of cancer at the biochemical level in Korea, discover what chemicals are used by organisms to produce hormones in the Netherlands, or chart the genetic changes of leopards in South Africa.
Programs for biology and life-science majors
Lund University
Lund is a university town famous for its historic student nations offering year-round social activities and a cycling culture.
It’s a first-class research institution. Many courses include applied research on enzyme technology, drug formulation, bio-informants, and protein engineering.
Lund is also very popular with UC students. You’ll find plenty of courses in English, low-cost cafeterias, and affordable student housing.
Ideal for biology and life-science majors
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
One of Asia’s top centers for research and teaching in biological science, HKUST supports the highest quality international research opportunities.
HKUST has six major areas of research: neuroscience, structural biology, cell and developmental biology, biotechnology, genomics, plus interdisciplinary research.
HKUST is highly popular for its incredible student life – you won’t struggle to fill the 'spare' hours in your day.
I have never had the experience of learning something in the classroom and then seeing it firsthand every single day. Knowledge never came as easily or stuck with me as it did in Australia. I am now working on publishing another scientific paper. My confidence in myself and my ability is multitudes higher since returning from my study abroad experience.
Within three months in Queensland, I was able to conduct two full research projects on North Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay and Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef. Australia could not have come at a more perfect time in my personal and educational life. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.
