During each year of your degree, you will be required to study 120 credits, made up of compulsory and optional modules.

The course has been designed to guide you to a range of relevant careers. Following solid grounding in fundamental science and core scientific skills in the foundation year (Year 0) and Year 1, Year 2 can focus on research, enterprise and/or medical sciences in practice*. The final year will allow you to develop independent skills relevant to a range of careers such as postgraduate research, pharmaceuticals, product development and graduate entry medicine.
A cumulative module average of at least 60% is required for progression from the Foundation Year to Year 1 of the Applied Medical Science BSc Course.
* Progression onto the medical sciences in practice strand is subject to satisfactory performance in the Year 1
