What will I learn?

The human body is a collection of interacting systems that in normal health work smoothly with each other in a self-regulated manner. By studying this in the context of medical science at molecular, cellular and systems levels, you will find out how diseases happen and the science behind the clinical strategies to cure them. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study. The human body works through complex interactions between molecules, cells and systems. Whilst allowing maintenance of diverse functions in health, even subtle changes can result in disease. Understanding how these systems operate provides the opportunity to target disease. The first three years are identical to the Medical Physiology BSc, including the option to spend a Year in Industry or a Year Abroad between Years 2 and 3. Your fourth year then lets you focus on refining your research and lab skills - while also putting into practice your employability skills - by conducting a research project. The analytical and critical skills you acquire by studying an MBiolSci in Medical Sciences are particularly valued by PhD supervisors, researchers and employers in non-scientific fields.
