Course details
In the first two years, part of the course is shared with that of medical students here at St George’s; in addition there are specific modules for biomedical science students.
This structure provides a broad coverage of the fundamental aspects of cell and molecular biology, anatomy, physiology and pharmacology. The aim is to equip you with a broad knowledge-base and prepare you to choose more specialised units in your final year. In the final year a choice of modules provides advanced coverage of a wide variety of topics to honours degree level.
Examples of modules currently on offer are:
- Biology of Cancer
- Human Genetics
- Immunity and Infection
- Development and Disease
- Science of Reproduction
- Cardiovascular and Respiratory Pharmacology
- Clinical Neuroscience
- Diagnostic Microbiology
- Eukaryotic Gene Expression
- Health Psychology
- Images of Anatomy
- Metabolic Disorders
- Stem cells and Regenerative Medicine
- Therapeutics: protein to patient.
This broad range of study options allows you to focus on subjects that interest you and maximises your career choices. You will also undertake and present a defined piece of research; a substantial component of undergraduate science training and an invaluable experience if you wish to continue with postgraduate research. Our modules are listed more fully in the PDF below.
