Course summary

Our healthcare system relies on Medical Scientists to help diagnose disease, evaluate effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of diseases. During this course you will gain knowledge of topics integral to medical science and develop clinical skills. You will learn how the human body functions, how it reacts to disease and the drugs that are used to treat disease. We use an integrated approach to look at molecular and clinical medicine. The course has a solid theoretical base together with laboratory practicals and clinical skills sessions, and it provides an ideal springboard into postgraduate-entry Medicine or Physician Associate Studies, as well as medical or biomedical research. Medical Science is taught by enthusiastic academic and professional staff who will provide continuous support throughout your studies at Chester Medical School. The academic staff are research active and continually strive to promote research within areas of medical science, in which they have published research findings and discussed their work at national and international conferences. You will have the opportunity to join a research team to undertake your research dissertation in the final year.
