• Designed to give students a broad grounding in biosciences they will be introduced to cell biology, human physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, and immunology.
  • This will provide students with a broad understanding of life at the molecular and cellular levels. Students will also have the opportunity to select from a range of optional modules to broaden their studies.
  • Students will develop skills in laboratory techniques for studying microorganisms (microscopy, sterile technique) and cellular components such as proteins and DNA (eg PCR, electrophoresis), including experience in experimental design.
  • Practical classes are organized as short projects and linked to core lecture material. In regular tutorials with their tutor, students will develop their ability to analyze, interpret and present data, and use scientific information to solve problems, together with both written and oral presentations. Students will also receive guidance to start thinking about their future career plans.
