课程特征 Course Features：
This programme is delivered by staff from all of the departments within the School of Medical Sciences and provides training in several of the principal areas of current research in the Biomedical Sciences. The programme is focused on experimental science and provides practical experience of basic and specialist techniques. It also provides opportunities for specialisation in selected research topics. Further information can be found on our Faculty website.
课程内容 Course Content ：
This programme consists of nine units: a core skills unit; a literary project; a research project; and six lecture-based units, of which you would study four.
Core Skills
A series of practical classes, lecture-based teaching sessions, and tutorials that prepare you for the practical project, provide a foundation for further studies and develop a range of transferable skills.
Literary Project
An extended essay on a subject chosen from an extensive list supplied by the Unit Organiser. You work independently under the guidance of a member of staff.
Research Project
A 12-week practical project in one of the Schools' research laboratories. Each Department provides a number of research project topics within the themes decribed below. You work independently under the guidance of a member of staff.
Lecture-based Units
You will study four lecture-based units from:
•Cancer Biology
Explorations of the cellular and molecular basis of human carcinogenesis, illustrating current research areas and including descriptions of techniques
•Cardiovascular Research
Modern research in four areas of cardiovascular physiology: physiology of the heart, physiology of blood vessels, cardiovascular homeostasis; molecular methods in cardiovascular medicine. Emphasis is placed on the use of molecular systems approaches
•The Dynamic Cell
Covers a variety of topics within the general area of intracellular dynamics and cell motility. Explorations of the movement of proteins and organelles within cells and the movement of cells themselves
•Infection and Immunity
Lectures on the nature of the immune response, its role in controlling infectious disease (especially at mucosal surfaces) and the mechanisms underlying autoimmune diseases
•Neuropharmacology
Emphasis on a number of key areas of modern neuroscience including the electrophysiology of neurones, particularly the biophysical and molecular basis of membrane function, ion transport, channels and receptors
•Neuroscience
Brain structure and function in the main areas of neuroscience research including sleep, pain, memory and psychiatric disorders.
Each taught unit is assessed independently by written examinations and by coursework. The literary and practical projects are presented as written dissertations.
