This extended programme in medical biosciences focuses on the in-depth study of human health and disease. Created especially for students who don’t meet the standard entry requirements, the four-year course begins with a foundation year designed to equip you with the core academic knowledge and skills needed to enter on to our Medical Biosciences BSc (Hons) degree – one of the only degree programmes in the UK to do so.
Designed specifically for students without the standard qualifications required to study a degree in medical biosciences, this four-year extended Medical Biosciences degree programme includes a Year 0 (Level 3) foundation year.
Taught by experts in the field, this initial year of study focuses on the key principles of chemistry, biology and biochemistry. By equipping you with the skills and qualifications necessary to progress on to the Medical Biosciences BSc (Hons), this foundation year acts as your gateway to a career in the exciting and often ground-breaking field of medical bioscience.
On successful completion of the initial foundation year, you’ll progress on to Year 1 (Level 4) of your Medical Bioscience BSc degree and undertake a further three years of study. Taught in our state-of-the-art, £30 million Science Centre, the degree will see you study an engrossing range of topics including blood science, biochemical pathology and virology. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience during a 15-week work placement.
You will be given feedback throughout the course. Your practical skills will be assessed through coursework, while your data handling capabilities will be assessed through practical reports, problem solving exercises, poster presentations, and information abstracting and reviewing exercises.
Upon graduation, you'll be eligible to apply for associate membership of the Royal Society of Chemistry (AMRSC).
In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:
All applicants must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. Applicants who require a Tier 4 student visa may need to provide a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. For more information about English qualifications please see our English language requirements.
Other applicants may have Level 3 qualifications such as A level, BTEC Extended Diploma or Access to Higher Education qualifications with high UCAS points and grades, but not in the relevant subject areas (biology and chemistry), which are required to study BSc programmes in the School of Human Sciences.
A BSc degree in medical biosciences opens up a wide range of career avenues, and many graduates go on to enjoy successful careers in areas as diverse as medical research, bioanalytical medical genetics, forensic units and the pharmaceutical industry. The numerical, analytical and communication skills you gain during your degree are also highly regarded in other industries including marketing, administration and financial services.
