Course Overview

This is a unique and innovative multifaceted programme designed for students wishing to pursue careers in laboratory-based biomedical research, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, or in Science policy, and regulatory professional bodies, as well as for students wishing to study medicine after graduation.

The programme is designed to offer students the opportunity to develop technical skills linked directly to relevant placements and real-world experiences. This approach will be further reinforced by an opportunity to spend a sandwich year in an industrial/NHS laboratory or governmental organization placement, thus improving your future job prospects. Key features of this course are its interdisciplinary nature and its research-based teaching.

All modules offered at the first year are delivered through a blend of keynote lectures, tutorials, group work, flipped learning, and problem-based learning activities. Many of the first-year modules develop and assess practical skills.

All modules employ teaching methods that encourage students to consider and challenge the evidence with which they are presented.

A wide range of subject-related resources is available within the LSBU Library. This includes access to textbooks, E-journal subscriptions, scientific databases, interactive e-learning platforms, and multimedia. Moreover, students have access to site-licensed software and assistive technologies to support their learning (if registered for Disability and/or specific learning difficulties).

There are a total of 4 teaching and research laboratories that provide a rich learning environment for combining theory and practice. Each contains state-of-the-art equipment to support delivery across all core and specialist modules.
