In their first year, students will study topics that are fundamental to biomedical science, including bacteriology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, human physiology, microbiology and physiology, ensuring they have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree.

During their second year, students will explore analytical biochemistry, pathology and virology. They'll also have the option to study pharmacology, to gain an understanding of the effect drugs have on the various systems in our bodies, or microbial communities, learning about antimicrobial resistance and biofilms.   

In their third year, students will select two modules, exploring topics such as advanced pharmacology, circadian rhythms, immunology, microbial sciences and toxicology. Students will study these alongside compulsory modules investigating cancer pathogenesis and treatment, the epidemiology of infectious diseases, our immune system and immuno haematological diseases, and pathogen interactions. Students will also get the opportunity to work alongside a supervisor to conduct their own scientific research project, performing experiments, and critically evaluating data and literature.
