Medical Biosciences (Microbiology) MBiolSci
/courses/medical-biosciences-microbiology-mbiolsci
Infectious diseases are responsible for a quarter of all deaths and are a major cause of death in infants and young children. The sheer diversity of pathogens and the exotic mechanisms they have evolved to escape the human immune system make them a fascinating topic to study. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study... -
Medical Biosciences (Physiology) MBiolSci
/courses/medical-biosciences-physiology-mbiolsci
The human body is a collection of interacting systems that in normal health work smoothly with each other in a self-regulated manner. By studying this in the context of medical science at molecular, cellular and systems levels, you will find out how diseases happen and the science behind the clinical strategies to cure them. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study... -
Chemistry BSc
/courses/chemistry-bsc
Discoveries in chemistry can lead to all kinds of breakthroughs in fields like health and medicine, energy and the environment, technology and materials – to name just a few. This degree is about learning and training across a range of areas, to give you more choice in where your career can go... -
Biological Sciences with Foundation Year BSc
/courses/biological-sciences-with-foundation-year-bsc
If you would love to study Biological Sciences here at Leicester, but your A-level subjects don’t match our entry criteria, or you don’t quite have the entry requirements to get in, this degree is your bridge to making it happen... -
Cardiovascular Science MRes
/courses/cardiovascular-science-mres
This is for you if... you want to study the cardiovascular science at an advanced level and develop the skills needed to go on to a career in cardiovascular research. Moreover, it is an appropriate pathway to PhD studies in this specialty. .. -
Biological Sciences (Neuroscience) BSc
/courses/biological-sciences-neuroscience-bsc
The nervous system extends throughout the body both in Man and in other organisms to control many complex functions. Alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system, from the molecular to the systems level, can result in disease, thereby highlighting the importance of understanding the nervous system and being able to target it to treat disease... -
Medical Microbiology BSc
/courses/medical-microbiology-bsc
Infectious diseases account for a quarter of all deaths. It’s a hard statistic to take in, but it’s why we keep studying the microscopic organisms that cause them. In this degree, you’ll learn how infectious diseases are caused, prevented, managed and cured – in both research and clinical environments... -
Medical Physiology BSc
/courses/medical-physiology-bsc
The human body works through complex interactions between ions, atoms, molecules, cells and systems. Whilst allowing maintenance of diverse functions in health, even subtle changes can result in disease. Understanding how these components operate in normal physiology and how they malfunction in disease provides the opportunity to understand how we target disease and how new therapies might be developed... -
Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) MBiolSci
/courses/biological-sciences-physiology-with-pharmacology-mbiolsci
The relationship between the subcellular realm and an organism is a delicate and fragile one: tiny changes can have a huge impact which may manifest as disease or system malfunctions. Effective drug treatment requires an understanding of the underlying, normal function of systems in living organisms. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study... -
Biological Sciences (Microbiology) MBiolSci
/courses/biological-sciences-microbiology-mbiolsci
Microorganisms may be small, but they tell us more about life on Earth than almost any other life form. On this degree you will learn how and why microorganisms cause disease and how microbes have been used for millennia in everything from food production to sewage treatment. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study...
