All of our Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences degrees are divided into two phases:

  • phase 1 is shared by all degrees and provides a broad introduction to biomolecular sciences
  • phase 2 provides specialist topics relating to your degree

This flexible structure gives you the chance to try a broad range of topics, helping you to see where your interests lie before you specialise.

Phase 1 (Stage 1 and part of Stage 2)

You're introduced to biomolecular sciences through a series of modules.

Phase 2 (remainder of degree)

You'll study topics such as: clinical pharmacology and drug development, carcinogenesis, anti-cancer drugs, pharmacogenomics, neuropharmacology, toxicology and clinical and laboratory techniques used in drug development.

You'll complete a research project in an area linked to your degree that interests you in your final year.
