This module aims to introduce you to the biomedical profession and job prospects while developing essential laboratory skills, safety practices, and communication methods necessary for academic and professional advancement, particularly in clinical laboratory settings. This module also aims to promote teamwork among students and encourages self-reflection as an integral component of professional development practices.

This module aims to provide you with the knowledge and understanding of human anatomy and physiology required to underpin your future learning. The unifying theme of homeostasis is used to show how a healthy structure and function are maintained and how failures of homeostasis can result in disease.

This module explores the cellular structure and function and genetics of eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea and will in addition cover virus biology. It will provide you with principles of genetics and a detailed understanding of the genetic processes that are operating at molecular, organism, population and species levels. You will be introduced to core theory and experimental techniques used to investigate physiology, growth and death of cells, with examples of diseases resulting from abnormal

This module aims to provide you with the skills and underpinning knowledge on the basic principles of biochemistry. This will include the knowledge of the structure and function of the key biomolecules and their role in metabolism. The module combines elements of biology and chemistry to relate to the understanding of metabolic diseases, health and wellbeing.

This module aims to provide you with an understanding of the principles, practices, quality assurance, and applications of commonly used screening and diagnostic techniques of molecular diagnostics and clinical genetics for disease investigation. Additionally, the module aims to enhance your knowledge of how to apply common molecular biology techniques for pathogen identification. Furthermore, the module aims to equip you with basic bioinformatics tools used in the study of genes associated with

This module introduces you to the concept of integrated pathology. This module provides a comprehensive understanding of different types of common diseases, disease mechanisms and diagnostic techniques. On this module you explore the multidisciplinary nature of disease investigation, management, and prevention, emphasising biochemical techniques for screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

The aims of this module are to give you an understanding of the many ways in which the immune response protects the host from infectious disease. This module also aims to provide you with an understanding of the structure and function of infectious agents and their control. You will also be taught more advanced microbiological techniques that will enable you to characterise infectious agents.

The overall aim of this module is that you gain knowledge about the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of various blood disorders, and understand and gain experience in a range of core and specialised haematological techniques used for screening, diagnosing and monitoring blood-related disorders. It is also aimed to equip you with knowledge and skills in transfusion sciences, including interpretation of blood groups and antibodies, safe supply and administration of blood components, unde

This module provides you with a critical understanding of what happens when the immune response become dysregulated leading to immune mediated pathology and neoplasm. You will also get a sound knowledge of pathogenicity, epidemiology, antimicrobial agents and resistance, One Health concept, and the global emergence, prevention and control of microbial infections. You will acquire practical skills of laboratory diagnostic methods that will enable you to identify bacterial pathogens.

This module provides you with the skills to plan, implement, analyse and report project-based work, in preparation for the final year project module. The module also develops core research skills for scientific research design. Specific research skills include analytical techniques and provides you with an insight into the translation of science into real-world solutions and the factors affecting innovation, and knowledge production and transfer.

The aims of this module are to give you a working knowledge of the principles and practice of cellular and molecular pathology and to gain experience in the application of commonly used techniques and the delivery of cellular pathology services. Emphasis is placed on the use of histological equipment, and on routine and special staining techniques for the demonstration of pathological conditions.

This module enhances specialised knowledge, ethical awareness, and skills in research, technology, and communication. It promotes further development in analytical thinking, critical evaluation, synthesis of complex information alongside advancing scientific writing skills essential for career advancement prospects. You will be enabled to pursue areas of individual interest in the subject area appropriate to your target award and will have the opportunity of gaining increased theoretical and pra

The module will provide you with an opportunity to develop and then consolidate your knowledge and understanding of the day-to-day management and routines of hospital pathology laboratories. In addition, you will be able to acquire the knowledge and skills required for registration as biomedical scientists with the Health and Care Professions Council and prepare for the IBMS assessment of their Registration Portfolio.
