Biomedical sciences involves the study of the processes behind human health and disease and developments in the field drive and guide improvements in medical practice. Our biomedical programmes have a common structure in Years 1 and 2 that provides a firm grounding in the knowledge, understanding and skills required for our specialist disciplines of infectious diseases, neuroscience, pharmacology, physiology and reproductive biology. In Years 3 and 4, you will focus on exploring your chosen discipline in depth. There are opportunities to transfer between disciplines at the end of Years 2 and 3. You will be taught within an internationally respected research environment and will have the opportunity to work with our research groups. Applying for a Biomedical Sciences programme Please apply for only one of the programmes in the Biomedical Sciences suite of programmes. Compulsory courses in Years 1 and 2 mean that you will have the opportunity to switch between honours programmes at the end of Year 2 and at the end of Year 3, provided the required courses have been passed.

BSc Anatomy and Development The fields of anatomy and developmental biology are closely interlinked. BSc Infectious Diseases Infectious disease is a major challenge to society in the developed and developing worlds. BSc Neuroscience Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, how the brain works and how cells interact to control behaviour. BSc Pharmacology Pharmacology is the study of how drugs produce effects on the body to treat disorders or change bodily functions. It brings together physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. BSc Physiology This programme is paused and, therefore, we will not be accepting applications for 2025 entry. Biomedical Sciences represents a multidisciplinary body of knowledge with physiology at its core. BSc Reproductive Biology Reproductive biology aims to understand the scientific principles that govern reproduction in humans and other mammals.
