Medical Science focuses on the cutting-edge science that underpins modern medicine, fostering new discoveries and technologies which improve healthcare. You will study a comprehensive range of topics within medical science, and gain an in-depth understanding of how our bodies work, how disease is treated and how new technology is evolving in this exciting field.

You can choose to study Medical Sciences through selecting one of four possible pathways. Each pathway provides a strong foundation in medical science, but the flexibility of choosing your own distinct pathway allows you to shape the degree to best suit your future aspirations. The pathways include specialisms in Psychology, Engineering or Computing, Visualisation & AI. Alternatively, you can choose a more generic Medical Science focus.

Your degree will be centred around developing the skills you need to work in professional practice, as well as equipping you with a variety of transferable skills that will give you a range of career options. We expect our graduates will find work in scientific, technical or research fields relating to their chosen pathway, for example

• Developing aumented reality to transform surgical procedures
• Biomedical engineering - developing tools for the next generation
• Bioinformatics
• Biopsychosocial - further research into the understanding of the human condition

Our staff have a wealth of research, educational and professional practice experience and are therefore well-placed to ensure you are ready for the world of work once you graduate.
