This degree scheme offer more flexibility than their IBMS-accredited Biomedical Science degree, with the added possibility of completing a four-year integrated Masters degree, subject to peer competition and an overall performance equivalent to upper second class. It is aimed at those with a broad interest in human life processes and disease. They involve the study of subjects such as biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and physiology which are at the heart of modern medical and health research. These subjects are taught with a particular emphasis on the molecules and mechanisms fundamental to life processes and how these are disrupted by disease.
