About this course
MBiol, BSc in Biomedical Sciences, a medical sciences degree focused on understanding human physiology, disease processes, and therapeutic innovations. Core topics include Data Analysis and Research Methods. The course includes an independent Capstone Research Project and offers students the option to transfer between the three-year BSc and the integrated Masters. The first year covers foundational concepts through compulsory modules such as Team-Based Solutions for Local Challenges in Human Sciences, Practical Application of Clinical, Laboratory and Field Skills for Human Sciences, Structure and Function of Human Body Systems, and The Basis of Life, with optional modules available in immunology, genetics, and nutrition. The second year progresses with compulsory study in Team-Based Solutions to Global Challenges in Human Science and Advanced Concepts in Biomedical Sciences, alongside optional experimental skills and subject-specific topics. The third year centres on research training through modules including Practial Research Skills, Extended Research Project Preparation, and Research Skills and Professional Development. The fourth year concludes the integrated Masters with Advanced Research Topics and an Extended Research Project.
Modules
- Team-Based Solutions for Local Challenges in Human Sciences
- This module allows you to address health-related challenges in a facilitated team-based environment. It will be related to your specific course of study, helping you develop the core skills needed to address the challenge. What you learn will align with content in other first-year modules. Practical Application of Clinical, Laboratory and Field Skills for Human Sciences
- This module introduces the key skills for scientific research into sports, human physiology, neuroscience and pharmacology. You’ll take part in hands-on application of these skills, spending time in both laboratories and the field. You’ll also develop supporting skills such as research design, scientific writing and data analysis. Structure and Function of Human Body Systems
- This module introduces you to the structure and function of the systems in the human body. You'll focus on how these systems interact with each other and discover how they can be disturbed by outside factors such as exercise, disease and our environment. The Basis of Life
