Medical Science

Medical scientists have a firm understanding of systems in the body, both at the anatomical and molecular level, and this course is designed to provide that foundation for progression to related careers. Students on the Medical Science course will develop a firm understanding of the biology of humans, the pathology of disease, and the complex roles carried out by multidisciplinary healthcare professionals. You must possess a drive to learn about the biological basis, research, diagnosis and management of medical problems. There is also a mathematical aspect to the course, particularly in terms of data analysis.

Studying Science in our state-of-the-art labs and project spaces will enable you to develop the necessary technical ability and knowledge to play your part. Whatever your talent, at QMC you will find customised support to meet your aspirations and successfully pursue your particular interests and goals.

Where can this course take me?

Advances in Science and Technology are revolutionising the world in which we live and influence almost every aspect of our lives. With the pace of discovery and development ever increasing, the range of career opportunities for people with the skills that Science qualifications provide are unimaginably diverse and you will always be in demand. During your studies you will develop the skills to perform investigations in our state of the art laboratories, you will learn how to examine health data to identify trends in disease, diagnose conditions through the mathematical analysis of physiological data, and use biomedical equipment to perform and evaluate physiological tests.

The content of this Medical Science qualification has been supported by universities in terms of providing general scientific understanding that will enable students to access Higher Education.

This course is ideal for students who are taking additional level 3 courses in science, sport, and health and social care, and who are intending to progress to careers or further study in areas such as:

  • Biomedical Science
  •  Life Sciences
  • Healthcare roles (nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery etc.)

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES
