BSc Biomedicine and Health Science
About this course
BSc (Honours) in Biomedicine and Health Science, an undergraduate degree combining cellular and molecular biology, human physiology, and population health. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Research Methods, and Project Management. The course includes an optional foundation year and an optional placement year. Students can also complete an undergraduate sandwich placement and a final-year research project. The first year introduces fundamental bioscience concepts, laboratory skills, and epidemiology through modules such as Fundamentals Of Life Sciences, Epidemiology And Public Health, and Human Reproduction And Endocrinology. The second year progresses to advanced physiological and biochemical processes via Molecular And Cellular Biochemistry, Immunology And Microbiology, and Physiology Of Health And Disease. The final year involves advanced professional development and specialized study in areas such as Advanced Therapeutics And Personalised Medicine and Human Nutrition And Health. Optional modules allow students to choose from topics including Advanced Genetics, Applications Of Data Science, Applied Biochemistry, Neurobiology And Neurophysiology, and Pharmacology.
