Become an expert in biomedical sciences, a rapidly growing area, and develop solutions to a range of challenges linked to maintaining health and wellbeing at each stage of life. You’ll gain an integrated knowledge of the human body, how its organs, tissues and cells work together to keep you healthy, and what goes wrong in disease.<br/><br/>Explore cutting-edge research in areas such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, drug discovery, cancer biology and dementia. You’ll be part of an engaging learning experience, informed by our research and delivered by world-leading academics.<br/><br/>Staff in our school are leaders in the disciplines of biomedical sciences – including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, biochemistry and microbiology – with many working in conjunction with other disciplines such as medical engineering, advanced materials science, computing and robotics.<br/><br/>Our focus will be on preparing you for the workplace. Youll undertake an independent capstone or research project, bringing together the knowledge and skills developed throughout your degree.<br/><br/>This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training. You will study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project within one of the major research laboratories in the School of Biomedical Sciences or an appropriate period of work-based practice. You may also choose to apply for our 3 year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance, and availability. <br/><br/><strong>Course highlights</strong><br/>• Designed to give a broad scientific knowledge and key graduate skills for those interested in biomedical sciences.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Explore cutting-edge biomedical research delivered by world-leading researchers.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Delivered using inspirational, engaging and inclusive approaches. Develop the key skills and attributes you’ll need to become one of the next generation of thinkers, innovators and leaders, equipped to make a positive difference in a complex and ever-changing interconnected world.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Across the first two years of the course, experimental skills modules teach you to identify problems, and design and conduct experiments to find answers to key biomedical questions.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• The opportunity to undertake an independent capstone research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing key skills and attributes that will set you apart in both the competitive graduate job market and/or when seeking to commence a Masters degree or PhD.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Experience life and learning in a different country through our study abroad programme, where youll gain fresh perspectives and develop skills valued by employers.<br/><br/>
