Our Courses
• Common first year which provides a “taster” in all subject pathways
• This allows an “informed choice” for levels 2 and 3• Easy to switch between courses• Permits an element of specialism while still providing a robust
grounding in basic biomedical science• Builds in the Division’s extensive experience
in medically related teaching and research
