Do you want a challenging career and the chance to really make a difference? Advances in healthcare and science have led to exciting opportunities in this sector.

Our BSc in Medical Sciences, developed in partnership with Cardiff School of Medicine, forms part of the graduate feeder scheme to medicine at Cardiff University for our high achieving students. It will also provide you with the skills and practical experience needed to progress towards a rewarding career in medical science should you decide you don’t want to practice medicine.

In our state-of-the-art clinical simulation facilities, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of medical science. Subjects range from anatomy and physiology to health policy, all of which are reinforced by practical modules, clinical training and valuable research experience. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake work placements with local health boards.

This course is recognised by the Society of Biology, which ensures that graduates automatically fulfil the educational requirements for Associate Membership (AMSB) of the Society.
