About this course

BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Practical laboratory skills are developed progressively through a structured sequence of core skills modules across the first two years. In the final year, students complete a semester-long research project and may select from specialist modules in areas such as bioinformatics and neuropharmacology.
