About this course
MBiomedSci or BA in Biomedical Sciences, a biomedical science degree examining human body function and disease treatment. Core topics include Statistics. Students can graduate after three years with a BA degree or continue to a research-intensive fourth year leading to a Master’s degree in either Neuroscience or Cell and Systems Biology. The first year introduces foundational scientific concepts through compulsory modules including Body and cells, Genes and molecules, Brain and behaviour, and Numerical and scientific skills. Practical laboratory work forms an integral part of the curriculum from the beginning. As the course progresses, students obtain first-hand experience conducting original laboratory research and choose their own research projects and supervisors. Degree pathways branch into either Neuroscience or Cell and Systems Biology based on module selections.
