About this course
MBiomedSci in Biomedical Science, a biomedical science degree focused on human biology, health, and disease mechanisms. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Project Management, Clinical Skills, and Critical & Analytical Thinking. Designed for those aiming at a career in research, the course features a major research project undertaken in the final fourth year. The first year establishes foundations through compulsory modules such as Experimental Skills for Bioscientists, Professional Skills for Bioscientists, Diversity of Life, Building Blocks of Life, and Fundamentals of Physiology and Neuroscience. The second year advances these abilities with compulsory study in Advanced Professional Skills for Bioscientists and Experimental Skills in Cell Biology and Pharmacology, alongside options covering areas like cell biology, human anatomy, and neuroscience. The third year offers advanced optional modules spanning topics such as evolutionary anatomy, sensory neuroscience, medical microbiology, and pharmacology, supported by a compulsory Capstone Project. The fourth year concludes with an extended period of independent investigation through the Extended Research Project, Advanced Literature Review: Retrieval and Evaluation of Scientific Information, and The Scientific Cycle.
