Taught by passionate experts in areas like cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, and immunology, the course blends theory with hands-on experience. You’ll work on clinical case studies, take part in lab-based modules, and carry out your own research project.
You’ll also hear directly from NHS professionals and have the chance to gain work experience with a wide range of organisations—from global companies and government bodies to NHS hospitals and specialist research labs.
By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready for a career in healthcare, research, or the pharmaceutical industry. Our graduates have gone on to work for the NHS, GSK, Dyson, Eon, and many more.
