In this course you'll study everything from the gene to whole body systems. You will graduate with a thorough understanding of the genetic and molecular processes that underpin the development, structure and function of the human body in health and disease. You'll be taught by leading scientists, respected experts in their chosen fields. Cutting-edge research takes place in the Department of Biomedical Science, and there will be opportunities for you to get involved. The foundation year of the programme provides people with non-standard entry qualifications a thorough and supportive academic preparation for successful degree level study in the Department of Biomedical Science. The foundation year to this degree is carefully designed to build your confidence in your abilities, develop essential academic and study skills, and provide the subject specific knowledge essential for success. Students will progress to the Department of Biomedical Sciences after completing their foundation year, subject to meeting progression thresholds which differ across courses and departments.
