The University of York offers a four-year undergraduate course in Biomedical Sciences (MBioMedSci). This integrated Masters program combines a breadth of knowledge in biomedical science with master's level research. Students, with their understanding of cutting-edge issues in biomedical sciences, are well-prepared to confront emerging global health challenges.Course Content: The course content for MBioMedSci in Biomedical Sciences is divided into staged progression. The first and second years involve equipping students with the foundation knowledge of human biology and disease and advanced study of genetics, biochemistry and cell biology through respective modules. In the third year, students can choose to specialize in medical microbiology, immunology, human genetics, or neuroscience leading up to a lab-based investigative research project. The fourth year includes robust masters-level research experience, where students can direct their study according to personal interests or career aspirations in contemporary areas of biomedical science.Key Modules: The key modules include Biochemical Pathways, Control of Cell Behaviour, Genetics and Evolution, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Molecular Cell Biology, Advanced Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Lab, Disease Modelling and Health Therapies, Infection and Immunity, Human Genetics, Neurobiology and a Dissertation in the final year.Accreditations: The MBioMedSci Biomedical Sciences course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).Future Careers: Graduates of this course can expect a wide range of potential career opportunities. While some may continue their training through PhD study, others might apply their expertise in the healthcare industry, academia, government advisory bodies, research industry, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology or science communication.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page here.
