The Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology BSc degree course offers you an opportunity to explore how our body is constructed. You will learn how our anatomy has emerged through an analysis of evolution, structure, function, and development. In doing so, you will consider anatomy at the organismal, tissue, cellular and molecular levels.
Studying a Biomedical Science degree with us means that you will be able to enjoy the flexibility to choose your degree after your first year with our Common Year One curriculum. All Biomedical Science disciplines are covered in the first year, making the decision for your future an informed one.
You will be able to choose from the following Biomedical science degrees; Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology BSc, Biochemistry BSc, Biochemistry MSci, Biomedical Science BSc, Medical Physiology BSc, Molecular Genetics BSc, Molecular Genetics MSci, Neuroscience BSc, Neuroscience MSci, Pharmacology BSc, and Pharmacology & Molecular Genetics BSc.
