MBiolSci Medical Biosciences (Physiology)
Course Overview
This four-year MBiolSci in Medical Physiology provides an advanced understanding of the human body's complex systems, from molecular interactions to whole-organism function, and how their dysregulation leads to disease. The final year is dedicated to a specialised research project, honing essential lab and analytical skills to prepare you for a high-level career in scientific research. The course is designed to make you a highly competitive candidate for PhD programmes and research roles in the life sciences sector.
Key Program Highlights
- Dedicated fourth year focused on an extensive, independent research project in a specialist area
- Develops advanced analytical and critical thinking skills highly valued by PhD supervisors and employers
- Option to spend a Year in Industry or a Year Abroad between the second and third years
- Identical first three years to the BSc, allowing for a deep foundation before specialisation
- Flexibility to switch between related Biological and Medical Bioscience courses early in the first year
