Modules span human health and wellbeing, physiology, infection, and the biology of molecules and cellular systems, including recent research breakthroughs related to vaccine development, neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic diseases (e.g. diabetes). You will develop the research and analysis, presentation, communication, problem-solving and writing skills that are essential in all employment sectors. If you are considering a career in medicine, we work closely with Warwick Medical School to provide mentoring and support for medical school applications. This includes strategic application support, problem based learning, reflective practice training, and interview preparation.
An integrated core syllabus of biology, biochemistry and genetics in your first year forms the basis for later specialisation. In your second and third years, core modules include molecular cell biology, human and animal physiology, immunology and epidemiology, infection and tropical diseases.
Alongside these, you can choose from a wide range of optional modules such as oncology or synthetic biology, or those covering areas outside science such as business or languages. In your third year you complete a challenging full-time research project on an area of particular academic interest. This may be lab-based, involve data analysis or fieldwork and will give you invaluable experience of applying your subject knowledge to real-life workplace challenges.
In your fourth year you will undertake a further extended research project within the School or on an industrial placement. This will give you invaluable experience of applying your subject knowledge to real-life workplace challenges.

How will I learn?
You will have weekly (first year) and fortnightly (second and third years) taught tutorials, which are in small groups to ensure that you are able to develop, and receive regular feedback on assessment.
Purpose-built teaching facilities are fully integrated with research laboratories, meaning you will be learning alongside teaching and research staff who are at the cutting edge of their fields. You will spend one or two days a week undertaking lab work. This becomes more project-oriented in your second year, culminating in a six-week individual research project in your third year. In their final year, MBio students undertake a further 27-week research project.
How will I be assessed?
You will be assessed through tutorials, laboratory practical, oral presentation, written assignment and exam-based questions. Approximately 45% of your marks will be assessed by coursework and projects throughout your degree.
