Intercalated BSc in Clinical Sciences
The BSc in Clinical Sciences is an intercalated degree providing medical, veterinary and dental undergraduate students with the opportunity to study the underlying scientific basis of disease and how this can transform clinical practice.
Using an integrated approach, students will learn how research discoveries at the bench can turn into bedside practice in a broad range of systems including musculoskeletal disease, metabolic disorders, renal medicine, cardiology, respiratory medicine and neuroscience.
The programme aims to equip future clinicians, vets and dentists with skills to understand, critique and undertake biomedical research in the 21st century.
