Introduction• This course will appeal to those with a keen interest in science and in how research and technology

can impact on human health. You will learn how scientifically driven investigations can advance our knowledge of disease prevention, detection and treatment. The programme will immerse you in modern medical and biological sciences, and focus on the application of scientific developments.

• The flexible, modular structure of this degree allows you to specialise in the areas of investigative biomedical science that interest you, particularly in the later stages of the degree.

Course Features• YEAR ONEIn your first year, you will begin to deepen your knowledge of the fundamental concepts of biomedical science. You will also be introduced to principles of translational research and you will learn about the influence of science and medicine on society.• 1st Term• Clinical Human Anatomy I (MSQ 60, Identification Examination 20, Identification

Examination 20)• Basic Tissue and Early Development• Basic Principles of Cell Biology (Short Answer 30, Written 70)• Foundation of Physics (6 Reports 30, 2 Hour Examination 60, Weekly HW 10)• 2nd Term• Clinical Human Anatomy II (MSQ 60, Spotter 40)• Basis of Organic and Biological Chemistry ( Powerpoint Presentation 10, Laboratory

second part of course 65, Computer Assisted Learning Assignments 15, MSQ 20)• Elective

Course Features• YEAR THREEIn year three you will continue with modules in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Physiology. You will also now deepen your knowledge of specific diseases and disease processes.• 1st Term• Bioinformatics (6 computer practical sessions 40, Mini-project 60)• Mechanisms of Disease (Case studies and reflective diary. Written assignments 20,

Exit Paper 80)• 2nd Term• Biochemist’s Toolkit (written exam, 2 hr 70, practical write ups and test30) • Mechanisms of Disease• Endocrine, Renal, and Reproductive Pharmacology• Introduction to Research• Elective

Course Features• YEAR FOURYou will build skills in biomedical research through interactions and research rotations, with international researchers in a range of disease areas, undertaken within the School of Medicine and Medical Science and its affiliated teaching hospitals. The degree will develop your fundamental knowledge in the translation of scientific discovery into clinical utilisation. In year four, students have the opportunity to be involved in peer-reviewed abstracts and publications and to present at national and international meetings.• Journal an Ethical Review• Research Project Bsc.
