BSc Applied Medical Sciences
About this course
BSc (Hons) Applied Medical Sciences is an undergraduate degree that combines clinical and bio-industrial sciences to prepare students for careers in diagnostics, medical devices, and biopharmaceuticals. Core topics include Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Clinical Skills, and Ethics & Professional Practice. Delivered jointly with Atlantic Technological University Sligo, the programme draws on over twenty years of distance learning experience and features access to research facilities. Year one establishes foundational knowledge through compulsory modules in Biology, Information Systems, Applied Mathematics, Good Manufacturing Practice 1, Fundamentals of Chemistry, and Science Laboratory Skills 1. Year two advances into biotechnology and human biology with compulsory modules covering Exploitation of Biology, Physiology and Anatomy of the Human Body, Biochemistry, Professional skills for biomedical scientists, Biomedical Science Laboratory Skills 1, and Scientific Communication. Year three focuses on genetics, enterprise, and biopharmaceutical regulations through compulsory study in Molecular Biology and Genetics, Enterprise in Biomedical Sciences, Biomedical Science Laboratory Skills 2, Pharmaceutical Quality Systems, Bioanalytics, Research Skills in Biomedical Sciences, and Professional Practice in Healthcare Science. The final year examines advanced medical and industrial topics via compulsory modules including Molecular Pathology, Clinical biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Cell Culture Processing, Quality Systems and Regulatory Affairs, and Protein Purification, alongside a supervised investigation in the Project: Biomedical Sciences module.
