Or you can choose to study for a combined degree award by specialising in one of our four specific pathways:Ê
  • BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences & Medical Biochemistry
Study the biochemical interactions within the body, and the diagnosis of biochemically related diseases.Year 2 and Year 3 modules: Biochemistry of Common Diseases, Metabolic Biochemistry, Human Genetics, Clinical Immunology, and Clinical Biochemistry.Ê
  • BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences & Molecular Biotechnology
By looking at the biological process involving genetics and gene technology you will learn about the molecular advances in the treatment of disease and the processes used to make treatments.Year 2 and Year 3 modules: DNA Technology, Introduction to Biotechnology, Medical Genetics and Medical Biotechnology.Ê
  • BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences & Pharmacological Sciences
Discover how different drugs are used for the treatment of diseases and what effect they have on the body. You will also develop your understanding of pharmacological principles and how they inform the development of drugs.Year 2 and Year 3 modules: Medical Pathophysiology, Pharmacological treatment of Disease, Advances in Pharmacology and Neuroscience.Ê
  • BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences & Medical Microbiology
You will study the various types of pathogen that cause infectious disease, and the strategies they use to attack the body. You will learn how to how to diagnose them and also the treatments available. You will also look at the global burden of infectious disease and the various worldwide initiatives underway to try and control this challenging threat.Year 2 and Year 3 modules: Medical and Environmental Microbiology, Human Genetics, Infectious Diseases, Global Topics in Infectious Diseases and Clinical Immunology.CareersOur course prepares you for employment in a wide range of scientific areas, including the pharmaceutical industry, scientific research, clinical trials, scientific writing, diagnostic laboratories, the food industry and teaching.
