Program Description

This degree gives you a sound base in biology and biochemistry. You will understand how the human body functions in health and disease, and be aware of the latest advances in the field of human bioscience. You also develop your understanding and ability to discuss the ethical issues surrounding technical advances such as the genomics-based healthcare revolution and the impact of bio-industries on the environment, particularly the development of genetically engineered organisms. From the first year, you explore enterprise within the biosciences, ranging from biotech start-ups to ‘big pharma’ and including the socio-economic impact of advances in areas such as biotechnology and medicine. A key focus is following how modern discoveries and innovations in bioscience lead to changes when it comes to practice, products and services.
