Undergraduate School Of Medical Sciences 2026-2027

Topics covered in this course span medical science through the ages; from ancient civilizations to the modern day science of genomics and synthetic biology.

Alongside lecture material, in depth practical classes will cover biomedical measurement techniques, forensic science and a research-based mini project.

Overall, this course is a journey through some of the key milestones that underpin the discipline of medical science we see today.

• Cells are the fundamental unit of life – without them life could not exist, and as such understanding how they function is crucial to our understanding of biology and medical science.
• This course provides theoretical knowledge in a diverse range of topics covering the fascinating world of cells, from molecules like DNA, to how different cell types function within our bodies.
• All practical classes are research based and will provide theoretical knowledge and skills training in many areas of molecular and cell biology.
• Employability skills will also be explored through a highly interactive enterprise session and our online mini course.

• this course covers many of the core concepts which are essential for advanced study in Applied Medical and related sciences; 
• you will gain cutting edge, in depth and focussed knowledge of applied human physiology and adaptation delivered in a research-driven environment in addition to core practical skills; 
• this will prepare you for advanced study of exercise physiology in the context of performance, health and disease; 
• wider transferrable skills such as employment preparation, problem solving, and advanced laboratory techniques are interwoven strands aimed at developing graduate attributes and employability
