Programme Overview

If human health and disease research interests you, this exciting degree will provide you with the fundamental knowledge and skills you require.

At the beginning of the degree, students will be exposed to a number of modules concerned with modern basic biomedical laboratory sciences. The subject areas in the core modules of this stage will include relevant aspects of anatomy, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, cytology, histology and physiology.

Subsequent study of disease processes will progress the student to proceed to further learning about the research-based development of new and more effective means of diagnosing, treating and preventing illness.

Students will also have flexibility to specialise in areas of investigative biomedical science that especially interest them towards the later stages of the degree.

Is this the right programme for you?

You should possess a keen interest in science and wish to study the effect modern diseases have on the normal function of the healthy human body. You should also be passionate about learning how scientifically driven investigation can advance our knowledge of disease treatment and prevention.
