Course overview
Biomedical Science involves the study of life processes in humans. The subject provides an understanding of the causes and consequences of human and animal disease, including infection, cancer and neurological decay.
The application of new biological concepts in medicine is an ever-growing and exciting process. Developments in molecular, genetic and cellular biology research continue to drive progress in areas such as vaccine development, neurogenerative diseases and metabolic diseases.
You will develop the hands-on lab, problem solving and research skills employer’s desire. If you are considering a career in medicine, we provide mentoring and support for medical school applications.
You can opt to take a year-long industrial placement or study abroad between your second and third years.
Study abroad
As an alternative to a work placement we support student mobility with the opportunity to apply for a year abroad at one of our partner universities all over the world. The Study Abroad Team supports these activities, and the School’s dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator will provide more specific information and assistance.
Core modules
We recognise that your interest in particular aspects of biology will develop as you learn. In the first year of all degree programmes, we offer a core syllabus encompassing essential concepts in biology and biochemistry to provide a strong foundation. Beyond this core curriculum, you have the flexibility to tailor your academic path in all years of study by selecting from a variety of optional modules. This optionality allows you to explore specialised areas of biology that align with your evolving interests and career aspirations throughout your entire course of study.
In your final year you will complete a challenging research project on an area of particular academic interest. This may be lab-based or involve data analysis and will give you invaluable experience of applying your subject knowledge to real-life workplace challenges.
Year One
Practical Skills for Biologists 1
This module will provide you with an introduction to the fundamental skills required for all Life Sciences degrees and you will see how skills are inter-related. The module will involve tutorial sessions, laboratory sessions and quantitative skills sessions. You will gain experience with basic lab techniques, learn to acquire data, and analyse and communicate your findings.
Read more about the Practical Skills for Biologists 1 module, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to the 2024/25 year of study).
Infection Biology and Microbiology
Infectious agents come in many forms, including viruses, bacteria, yeasts and eukaryotic parasites. Infectious disease caused by this array of agents is all around us. Human disease clearly matters a lot to us, but infections of other species also have major impacts on human activity and well-being, such as when crops and livestock fall victim to infection. This module will introduce you to important aspects of the topic of infection, considering some of the agents themselves, and their interactions with host species.

Physiology, Neurobiology and Cell Signalling
On this module you will gain an understanding of how parts of the body functions and how these parts work together in the whole organism. The focus will be on cellular signalling, the nervous system, the cardiovascular and respiratory system, as well as special senses. You will then combine your learning to gain a thorough understanding of the way the body adapts to environmental conditions such as altitude, depth, cold and heat.

Work Placement Year
This module will enable you to increase your competitiveness on the job market by gaining experience beyond your degree, through an industrial placement.
Year Four
Laboratories and Assessments for Biomedical Sciences
You will complete the third year of our laboratory and tutorial-based skills programme. The key aims of this module are to embed final year level literature and practical research skills. This will be achieved through a combination of set tutorial tasks and laboratory classes.
Read more about the Laboratories and Assessments for Biomedical Sciences module, including the methods of teaching assessment (content applies to 2024/25 year of study).

You will be assessed through tutorials, laboratory practicals, oral presentations, written assignments and exam-based questions.
Approximately 35% of your marks will be assessed by coursework throughout your degree.
Teaching
You will have weekly (first year) and fortnightly (second and third years) taught tutorials, which are in small groups to ensure that you are able to develop and receive regular feedback on assessment.
Purpose-built teaching facilities are fully integrated with research laboratories, meaning you will be learning alongside teaching and research staff who are at the cutting edge of their fields. You will spend one or two days a week undertaking lab work. This becomes more project-oriented in your second year, culminating in an individual research project in your fourth year.
Class sizes
In your first year, lecture sizes are typically 370 students. The modules you take in years two and three will vary in class size. The maximum number is typically 200 and the minimum 20 students.
Typical contact hours
10-16 hours per week over 25 weeks. In your first year you should expect around 10 lectures per week, a half to a full day in the lab and a taught tutorial with your personal tutor and 6-7 of your peers.
Independent learning, reading and preparing for lectures and preparing assessments will occupy the rest of your study time.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees cover the majority of the costs of your study, including teaching and assessment. Fees are charged at the start of each academic year. If you pay your fees directly to the University, you can choose to pay in instalments.
Undergraduate fees
If you are a home student enrolling in 2024, your annual tuition fees will be £9,535. In the future, these fees might change for new and continuing students.
How are fees set?
The British Government sets tuition fee rates.
Undergraduate fees

Eligibility for student loans
Your eligibility for student finance will depend on certain criteria, such as your nationality and residency status, your course, and previous study at higher education level.
Check if you're eligible for student finance.
Tuition Fee Loan
You can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover your tuition fees. It is non-means tested, which means the amount you can receive is not based on your household income. The Loan is paid directly to the University so, if you choose to take the full Tuition Fee Loan, you won’t have to set up any payments.
Maintenance Loan for living costs
You can apply for a Maintenance Loan towards your living costs such as accommodation, food and bills. This loan is means-tested, so the amount you receive is partially based on your household income and whether you choose to live at home or in student accommodation.
If you’re starting a course on or after 1 August 2021, you usually must have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement SchemeLink opens in a new window to get student finance.
Tuition Fee Loan
If you are an EU student and eligible for student finance you may be able to get a Tuition Fee Loan to cover your fees.
