Medical Sciences

The Medical Sciences degree programme consists of interlocking taught courses specifically tailored to medical students, providing structured teaching and building up to a detailed self-directed learning project. This is followed by an extended individual 20-week research project, with projects available in a range of departments and disciplines. The programme aims to give students the opportunity to study in greater depth an area of biomedical or clinical science. At the end of the programme students will be able to undertake and critically evaluate research and understand basic principles of research methodology.
