About this course

An MSci in Biomedical Sciences, a four-year integrated master's course. Core topics include Laboratory Techniques, Programming, Data Analysis, Research Methods, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and Engineering Design. The MSci extends the standard undergraduate curriculum by an additional year to achieve a master's level qualification. A research project in the final year provides hands-on experience working with an academic supervisor.
