UK Undergraduate and MSc Courses

Biophysics modules appear in MSc courses and in many undegraduate science courses, but for the present, at least, this list is restricted to those with Biophysics or Physics and Bio-something in the title. As usual, there are no guarantees than the list is exhaustive, and additions, corrections etc can be emailed to bbs@britishbiophysics.org.uk.
