You will focus on both non-pharmacological interventions and those that are dependent on the biotechnology revolution. You will appreciate the majority of new therapies are based on recombinant DNA technology – plus modified cellular and bespoke therapies.<br/><br/>**How you learn**<br/>Our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. <br/><br/>On this course you’ll apply your learning through activities that give you a deep understanding of the field. Central to the course is the development of the ability to analyse, comprehend, and communicate biomedicine and health-related knowledge.<br/><br/>You will be taught by academics who are specialists in their respective fields. With hands-on laboratory experiences, you will be introduced to real world problems, developing your critical thinking, a deep understanding of the scientific process and valuable skills for professional settings.<br/><br/>You learn through: <br/><br/><br/>- In person teaching in face-to-face seminars, tutorials and lectures<br/><br/><br/>- Practical hands-on laboratory experiences using up to date, industry standard equipment<br/><br/><br/>- Independent study<br/><br/><br/>- Online support tutorials<br/><br/><br/>- Small group academic advisor sessions<br/><br/><br/>- Placements, which give the opportunity use what you have learned<br/><br/><br/>- Capstone independent research projects to bring all your learning together<br/><br/><br/>**Key themes**<br/>Initially, you will learn fundamental life science in semester one and apply this knowledge in depth in laboratory sessions, and apply fundamentals to more applied modules such as Human Reproduction and Endocrinology, and Epidemiology and Public health in semester 2. You will complete Observed Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and laboratory diagnosis of patients in an applied project. <br/><br/>In following years you’ll cover fundamentals in molecular and cellular biochemistry, and apply this to practical labs and an applied biotechnology project. In following years you’ll cover fundamentals in molecular and cellular biochemistry, and apply this to practical labs and an applied biotechnology project. In your final year, you’ll also learn about cutting-edge therapies and non-pharmacological interventions, and complete an independent project in our teaching labs. – or multiple projects if you continue on the MSCi route within our research centre.
