Students will study everything from the gene to whole body systems. We want you to graduate with a thorough understanding of the genetic and molecular processes that underpin the development, structure and function of the human body in health and disease. The first two years give you a grounding in the molecular and cellular basis of life. You will have the opportunity to carry out human dissection, supervised by a member of staff. You'll be taught by leading scientists, respected experts in their chosen fields. Cutting-edge research takes place in our department, and there are opportunities for you to get involved. Our research-led teaching ensures you'll gain the knowledge and understanding at the forefront of modern biology. The extensive research infrastructure, including advanced microscopy and sophisticated molecular screening facilities, is integrated in your teaching.
