**Please check the Sheffield Hallam University website for the latest information**<br/><br/>**Course summary**<br/>- Explore fundamental life science, from atoms, molecules, cells and organ systems<br/><br/><br/>- Study disease-screening methodologies and health interventions in populations<br/><br/><br/>- Research novel cutting-edge treatments, biotherapeutics and cellular therapies<br/><br/><br/>- Understand how basic science is translated into approved novel therapeutics<br/><br/><br/>- Take an optional placement year to gain valuable experience in a real-world setting<br/><br/><br/>The BSc (Hons) Biomedicine and Health Science degree provides you with a sound understanding of the fundamentals of life science and how novel therapies are developed. 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/>If you dont meet the entry requirements for our course, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the foundation year.<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.<br/><br/>**Applied learning<br/>Live projects and electives**<br/>You’ll gain valuable experience in providing a practical perspective of the encounters commonly faced by scientists in the healthcare sector.<br/><br/>In mini-projects you’ll develop experimental design and planning abilities, as well as building confidence in practical skills. These projects lead to a more independent extended research project during the final BSc year, with further advanced projects being undertaken if you continue for an additional MSci year.
