Content

The Biomedical Sciences programmes share a common structure in Years 1 and 2. These foundation years give you a strong grounding in the knowledge, skills, and scientific understanding needed across all specialist areas.

During this time, you’ll also be introduced to anatomy and development through compulsory courses.

From Year 3 onwards, you’ll focus more deeply on your chosen subject area. You’ll also have the flexibility to change your specialism at the end of Years 2 and 3, allowing you to tailor your degree as your interests develop.

The Anatomy and Development degree programme explores how the human body is built, how it grows and mechanisms of repair.

This knowledge is increasingly important in the study of disease and in emerging fields such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

You will study the structure and organisation of tissues and organs alongside the biological processes that shape them, from the earliest stages of development to adulthood.
