Year 2
Core modules
In your second year you will study the following core modules:
- Food: Nutrition and Malnutrition
- Infection: Prevention and Outbreaks
- Interactions: Environment and Genes
Optionality in year two
Your second year will include two optional modules. Some options are based ‘at home’ in the Medical School and these are called pathways options. Other optional modules are based elsewhere across the university, for example in the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) or in Global Sustainable Development (GSD). You can select any combination of two optional modules that works with your interests and your timetable.
- Pathways 1 (core option)
- Pathways 2 (core option)
