BSc Medical Science
Course overview
The BSc Medical Science course is a multi-disciplinary (different fields of study) that prepares students for a career in research, public health, and the pharmaceutical industry. The programme provides an understanding of normal and abnormal body function, including the biochemical, cellular, and physiological aspects of health and disease.
A key component of the course is its experiments conducted in state-of-the-art labs, equipped with advanced technology that teaches essential medical laboratory techniques. The curriculum covers topics such as genetics, immunology, and drug design; all these topics and more will teach students the skills to analyse data, write reports, and understand disease diagnosis.
Students will be assessed using essays, group presentations, lab reports, case studies, quizzes, practical assessments, and a final project. Students' progress will be checked through tests and assessments. Some tests are informal and designed to help students improve, and the formal test will focus on their final grade.
