For more information and a list of typical modules available on this course, please read BSc Biomedical Sciences in the course catalogue.

Year 1

In Year 1, you’ll be provided with an enhanced knowledge and understanding of the principal body systems, processes and functions in health and disease, gaining hands-on practical experience of the experimental approaches used to generate this knowledge.

You’ll be introduced to a range of topics across the biomedical sciences, including essential anatomy & physiology of human systems, biochemistry of the cell, microbiology, pharmacology, and neuroscience.

Should you be interested in Biomedical Sciences but do not yet want to decide on a specialisation, the first year of this course will equip you with the comprehensive foundation knowledge and transferable skills needed to take on more specialised topics in later years.

You’ll also develop the fundamental practical laboratory skills and techniques that will underpin the rest of your studies. This is in addition to essential academic and professional skills to help you progress successfully through the course and into further study or employment.

At the end of year 1, our flexible degree structure may offer you the opportunity to transfer onto other suitable, related degree courses within the School of Biomedical Sciences, subject to suitable academic performance and availability.

Learning and teaching

Our teaching is delivered through a combination of large and small group workshops and practicals. We take a student-centred approach to learning and so our teaching is designed to enable student engagement through active learning approaches that include creative problem-solving, team-work activities and mini-projects. In this way, you are able to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt to practical, real-life contexts. We put a high value on practical teaching and so a core part of your teaching will focus on developing hands-on practical and associated research skills.

Independent study is an important part of University learning and you will be expected to undertake private study. We will support you in becoming independent learners through our teaching approaches and through regular meetings with your personal tutor who is there to advise you academically.

We use a range of digital tools to enhance your learning. Through our Minerva learning management system, you will be able to access our extensive library of online materials, some of it designed specifically to support preparation prior to attending classroom sessions and discuss content with peers and teachers. In the classroom, educators use a variety of interactive digital tools to help you learn through discussion and debate. Laboratory practicals are accompanied by detailed online preparation guides and use of electronic laboratory notebooks to ensure you get the most out of your time and develop workplace skills.

On this course, you’ll be taught by our expert academics, from lecturers through to professors. You may also be taught by industry professionals with years of experience, as well as trained postgraduate researchers, connecting you to some of the brightest minds on campus.

Assessment

Assessment on the course is a varied mix of course work submitted during the semester and exam periods (Jan and May) each year. A portfolio of assessment approaches are used.

There is also a mixture of multiple choice questions, short answer questions and longer essay questions used in an online time limited assessment.

Many modules adopt authentic assessment approaches where appropriate. These assessments aim to develop the personal and professional skills required in the workplace. This includes:

• writing laboratory or other reports
• evidence-based reports
• grant applications
• oral presentations (individual and group)
• poster presentations
• reflective accounts and portfolios

Communicating science to a wider audience is a key skill. In some circumstances there may be a choice of assessment piece to make it more relevant, meaningful and engaging for you.

Assessments in the school are prepared in a fair and inclusive manner adhering to relevant and up to date guidance.

Entry requirements
