The course aims to provide students with a solid grounding for building a career in the health and bioscience sectors. It explores life at all levels from chemicals, molecules and cells to organ systems. Students will also explore human health and illness and how they are managed in the context of contemporary research, as well as how populations, communities and the environment influence health and illness.
Course content and assessments have been designed to help students develop theoretical knowledge and understanding, as well as the practical skills to enhance their career and academic opportunities.
Each year, the course is reviewed to ensure it includes the major causes of illness and death globally as researched by the World Health Organisation (WHO), as well as the major causes of sickness absence from the workplace, to give students a well-rounded understanding of the way disease affects human life.
Graduates have gone on to work at a number of nationally and internationally renowned companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, HelloFresh, Oxford Immunotec and ALS Environmental. Graduates have progressed into further education, undertaking a master’s degree in related subjects such as Biotechnology, Cancer Research, Pharmacology and Drug Discovery, Molecular Microbiology, Medical Sciences and Polymer Chemistry.
