Course overview
A trailblazer in the world of undergraduate science, BSc Health and Medical Sciences, will enable you to investigate current local and global problems in health from multiple perspectives.
Wherever we look in the world, health and medical services are struggling to cope with rising demand and an increasing burden of disease. Advances in the scientific understanding of disease, along with technological innovations, offer exciting opportunities for improved health, but also challenge our health systems in terms of developing affordable and accessible treatment and health management strategies.
Factors ranging from our genes to our lifestyle and interactions within society will influence our physical and mental health. Multidisciplinary solutions to health problems must be complex and comprehensive. These problems require individuals who have the skills to work across traditional boundaries as agents for change.
The BSc in Health and Medical Sciences uniquely integrates the established fields of health science and medical science. Medical sciences, including molecular biology, genetics and epigenetics, physiology, anatomy, immunology, pharmacology, discovery science and clinical trials, promote an in-depth understanding of human biology and health and disease from the level of DNA, cells, and systems in the human body up to the level of patient as a whole.
Health Sciences, including health care systems, patient safety, ethics, human behaviour, psychology of health, sociology, epidemiology and health economics promote an in-depth understanding of health problems from the level of individuals, families, the workplace, up to the level of societies and populations. Therefore, this course will equip you with the essential skills to be able to make a valuable and uniquely informed contribution to health in our society.
Case-based learning, a signature small-group educational approach for Warwick Medical School is a feature of the course, as is technology enhanced learning. These progressive learning methods ensure our graduates are highly competent and employable across a broad range of careers in the health and medical sciences.
Student case study
Core modules
The course is delivered over three years and largely conforms to University standard terms (approx. 25 weeks), holiday and assessment periods. The course addresses current local and global problems in health through the integrated perspectives of health and medical science, covering six thematic areas, which are interwoven through the curriculum:
- Non-communicable diseases
- Infectious disease
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Nutrition
- Civil strife and displacement
Year One
Concepts in Health and Medical Sciences
This module will give you a basic grounding in key topics, theories, principles, language, nomenclature and learning activities which will underpin ongoing study in the health and medical sciences. You will develop knowledge and understanding of the different skills, techniques and perspectives that will frame ongoing study. As part of your study in medical sciences, you’ll be introduced to core anatomical concepts and in health sciences, core concepts in health and illness.

Systems: Cell to Society
As part of this module, you’ll unpack the challenges of curable and incurable diseases and conditions, considering that problem solving in health might not mean problem eradication, but the management of problems in the short and long terms. From a medical sciences perspective, you’ll be introduced to cell cycle regulation, cell division and communication, principals of genetics and epigenetics, elements of developmental biology and parental transfer of information, and anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, bones and muscles in health and disease. In the health sciences, you’ll explore core concepts such as health behaviour, different health belief models and the interrelationships of population health and health and gender.

Illness: Susceptibility and Inequality
This module will give you a broad base of understanding of illness and how it relates to susceptibility and inequality. As part of the medical sciences, you’ll cover the anatomy and physiology of reproductive and endocrine systems, investigating the challenges associated with reproductive ageing and fertility. You’ll also explore the field of oncology, covering topics including the molecular basis of cancer, diagnosis, treatment and management. In health sciences, you’ll consider how the systems of governance, decision-making in health and economics impact the availability of life extending drugs.

Wellbeing: Mental Health and Neurobiology
This module will help you understand how wellbeing can have an impact on mental health and neurobiology. From a medical sciences perspective, you’ll be introduced to the anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system in health and disease, and circadian rhythm as these relate to wellbeing and mental health. Revisiting genetics and epigenetics, you’ll consider the relationships between environment, genome and epigenome. In health sciences, you’ll investigate the states of stress, anxiety and depression at a societal level with a focus on systems of care, the law and the balance between autonomy and best interest.

You will learn about organisation and development of the immune system, its activation upon stimulation, microbiology and the defence mechanisms against different pathogens. Resistance to drugs and antibiotics and the use of technology in these fields will also be explored. Patient safety, occupational health and wellbeing, and work risk assessments will underpin many of the topics covered in Health Sciences. You’ll also consider how different expectations and work environments can highlight the complexities in epidemiology.

Optional modules
In Year Two you will choose two optional modules. These may be WMS Pathways options, which have previously included ‘introduction to clinical skills, health psychology and clinical pharmacology and drug safety’, or any other University-approved optional module. For example, you could choose a module from the Institute of Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) or a module from WBS.
Assessment
The BSc Health and Medical Sciences course includes a mix of examinations, written course work, presentations, posters and skill-based assessment types. Many modules have more than one assessment type, so that you can convey your understanding of module material in diverse ways.
The assessment strategy of the course links to employability and further study. In year two of the course you will be able to undertake two optional modules allowing you to develop transferable skills and explore areas of interest. In years two and three of the course you will also have the chance to work on a range of personal development areas, having access to the extensive careers and skills service.
Student research lies at the heart of the course assessment strategy. In year one you will undertake a dedicated ‘Methods of Enquiry’ module and present your ideas for a small research project. In year two you will develop your research skills in reviewing evidence, forming a research hypothesis, identifying appropriate methodology, addressing ethical issues, and communicating your findings. In year three, the research theme culminates in a dissertation project supervised by an expert in your field of interest from across the Health and Medical Sciences. Your dissertation project will develop your skills in critical thinking, extended exploration of concepts, testing of theory and analysis, and presentation of findings.
Teaching
At Warwick Medical School, our signature educational approach is case-based learning, undertaken in small teaching groups. You will undertake activities centred around real-world case studies. Case-based learning will help you to develop problem-solving skills and integrate your learning, developing teamwork skills that are valued by employers.
You will explore a broad range of structured and specifically designed learning activities including discussions, debates, technology enhanced learning and interactive lectures.
As an additional feature of the course, some of the content will be delivered wholly online. This will give you some flexibility to learn at the times that suit you and help you to develop personal responsibility for your studies.
The rest of your time will be taken up by directed learning activities, project work, additional reading and reflection as well as preparations for group work and assessed elements.
You can opt to take a summer study programme, or year-long study abroad between your second and third years.
Class sizes
Class size will typically be around 40 - 50 students for full cohort sessions. Case-based learning and other small group activities will be in groups of around 10 students.
Typical contact hours
Around 20 hours per week.
