This course fuses science with medicine, enabling graduates to translate scientific advances into clinical practice. Students learn to understand both science and the foundations of medicine, including the mechanisms of disease and how diseases are treated. Graduates are empowered to work at the highest levels within the biomedical sciences. This fusion of basic and clinical science will enable graduates to work at the highest levels in biomedical research, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, clinical trials, hospital management, public health, nutrition, etc. Sessions to enhance creativity and inventiveness and to develop team work are incorporated throughout, as are inspirational talks by external speakers on science, medicine and the arts. It will produce innovative and inventive graduates, with the capability and insights needed to make groundbreaking scientific discoveries with true clinical applications, and to make a greater impact in the biomedical world. Interactive online lectures give you the opportunity to go through the topics at your own pace and explore them in greater depth, engage with quizzes and watch videos. The face-to-face teaching which follows offers more intensive, creative sessions of tutorial-based problem solving and learning, in small groups. Extensive laboratory practicals will support your training in basic laboratory skills. Applied Medical Sciences differs from most biomedical science degrees in that students develop a very strong understanding of the foundations of medicine, with an emphasis on fusing science with medicine, i.e. an appreciation of how science helps recognize and treat various diseases. You will become highly skilled scientists who can make medicine work for patients, or use your knowledge to find success in a research career, or flourish in other professions where a keen understanding of science and medicine are crucial. We expect all our graduates to be capable of working in any of the biomedical sciences that they choose to pursue, and we envisage that our graduates will play key roles in clinical trials, biomedical research, nanotechnology, drug design or the pharmaceutical industry, the regenerative repair industry or postgraduate research.
