BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science with Foundation Year Bachelor's degree at Wolverhampton

This module introduces the essential chemical principles required for further study in Pharmaceutical Science, Pharmacology, Forensic Science and Biomedical Science. It covers key concepts from general, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry, with a strong emphasis on their relevance to biological systems and healthcare applications. You will explore atomic structure, bonding, reactions, and chemical calculations, alongside organic functional groups and molecular structures. In the laborato

This module introduces students to the essential biological and healthcare science concepts that underpin biomedical practice. It provides a broad foundation in cell biology, anatomy, physiology, and the diversity of life, while also exploring the role of healthcare science professionals and the principles of patient-centred care. Students will develop an understanding of how biological systems function in health and disease, and how diagnostic techniques are used in clinical settings. The modul

This module equips students with the essential mathematical, analytical, and digital skills required for success in science and related disciplines. It introduces core numeracy and statistical techniques, alongside structured approaches to problem solving in scientific contexts. Students will learn how to analyse data, apply logical reasoning, and use appropriate IT tools to model and visualise solutions. The module also encourages reflection on the role of digital technologies, including AI, in

The Professional Standards Toolkit module aims to provide you with the skills necessary for academic study and to be able to thrive in Semester 2 and beyond (L4-6). This module introduces students to the professional standards (in Science or Engineering-depending on your course subject), behaviours and academic skills required in your field of interest. This module will also develop your core transferrable skills such as communication and study skills, as well as digital literacy. You will also

This module introduces you to the essential biological systems that protect the human body and the microorganisms that interact with it. You'll learn about the role of normal flora in maintaining health and how microbes can cause disease, be identified and also controlled to prevent disease. The module covers the biology of microorganisms, including their structure, physiology, biochemistry, classification, and identification. You will also explore the immune system's structure and function, inc

This module explores how the human body is organised and how it functions, with a focus on its major systems: musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, immune, renal, urogenital, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine. You'll learn how these systems are controlled through neurological and hormonal mechanisms and how they interact to maintain health. The module also introduces key concepts, for example disease processes, pharmacological therapy, embryonic development, and ageing. The

This module introduces the fundamental principles that underpin life at the cellular and molecular level. You will explore the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including cell division, the cell cycle, stem cells, and cell specialisation. The module also covers key biochemical concepts, such as the structure and function of biological molecules and the metabolic processes that sustain life. You'll examine the molecular basis of genetics, including DNA, RNA, and protein

Assessment: written examination and laboratory practical assessments

This extended induction module supports your transition into university life and introduces you to your chosen academic discipline. It helps you build confidence, develop a strong academic identity, and understand the expectations of university study. You'll explore key academic practices including independent learning, digital literacy, and ethical academic conduct, such as referencing, plagiarism awareness, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in line with university policy. The m

This module introduces you to the key laboratory techniques and diagnostic approaches used to investigate disease across major body systems. It will provide an integrated study of the biochemical and cellular investigation of human organ function and dysfunction and provide an understanding of key biochemical and pathological techniques used in a clinical laboratory. You will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the preparation and examination of cells and tissues, interpretation o
