Biomedical Health MSc

You'll study modules such as:

• Society and Human Health - Looks at how life style choices, global location and social-economic influences human health and will investigate key diseases
• Independent Scholarly Activity in Biosciences - This research module can be lab based or questionnaire based studies. It will involve looking into using people for data collection

You’ll choose up to five of the following modules:

• Bioinnovation - Covers Biotechnology and research knowledge such as research law and intellectual property
• Health Protection - Develop an appreciation of natural and man-made hazards present in the environment and their impact on public health
• Communicable and Non-Communicable Disease - Investigates key diseases such as oncology, diabetes, dementia, obesity and bacterial and viral infection
• Essential Public Health (online) - Introduces public health and public health policies
• Global, Environmental and Public Health Issues (online) - Covers the key environmental and public health issues that are influencing global health e.g. water purity, air pollution, noise pollution, but also global disease such as malaria and ebola
• Translational Oncology - Explores oncology to a masters level and then covers how clinical trials are conducted, such as NHS ethics, understanding correct sample size, methodology development, clinical trial data analysis
• Cell signalling in Health and Disease - Introduces how cells communicate with each other in health and how issues with this communication can causes disease to occur such as cancer and dementia
• Oncology and Immunology - Explores the causes of cancer, how it is treated and what directions are currently being undertaken by cancer research scientists, and explains how immunology plays a key role in cancer development
• Biomedical Biotechnology - Takes the Bioinnovation module to masters levels. Continues with the importance of intellectual property (IP) and research development. This will cover key biomedical lab techniques, such as qPCR, western blotting and molecular cloning, but also how microbial laboratory techniques are undertaken to push forward the fast moving area of bioinnovation
• Practical Training Based Placement Module - Provides links between theory and problem-solving through practical applications at host organisations
• Biomedical and Public Health Education
• Public Health and Health Improvement
• Applied Bioscience
