人类生物科学理学学士学位（荣誉学位）

与学习人类生物学学位相比，生物学离家更近。这个进步领域一直在发展和变化。人类生物科学涵盖了一些生物学和医学领域变化最快，最活跃的领域。您将研究近年来在人类健康和疾病方面取得一系列开创性科学发现的主题和研究。这一令人兴奋的程度可能会导致生物医​​学领域的一系列研究和健康相关职业。涵盖的主题广泛，包括微生物学，分子生物学，医学遗传学，癌症生物学，生理学，细胞生物学和神经科学。这些主题在医学研究中越来越重要，并为生物技术和制药行业奠定了基础。可选的三明治年，可选的国外年份。
You will study topics at the forefront of scientific discovery such as genomics, neurophysiology, and communicable and non-communicable diseases.Human biosciences embraces some of the most rapidly changing and dynamic areas of modern science and has been responsible for an array of ground-breaking scientific discoveries in human health and disease. Over 1.2 million people work in primary science-based roles in the UK, with the boundaries between biosciences, chemical sciences and physical sciences becoming increasingly blurred.This course aims to equip you to assess and understand new scientific developments and to communicate effectively to diverse audiences, to encourage dialogue between the public, academics and policy makers to advance progress towards a healthier future for us all.It aims to enhance your understanding of how the human body functions in health and disease at the tissue, cell and molecular level, throughout the lifespan. We place great emphasis on the acquisition of broad human biosciences knowledge and practical expertise, which is most likely to be useful in your future career related to human biosciences.Laboratory sessions form a substantial component of your learning experience, providing you with the opportunities to learn key experimental techniques and develop the essential experimental, data handling and reporting skills required in biological and other careers4.The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘How you’ll learn’ section below for more details.Why you should study this courseWell-equipped suite of analytical and biological laboratories where you can gain hands-on experience using industry-standard techniques.You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of a wide range of laboratory techniques such as gene amplification using PCR, gene sequencing, cell culture, flow cytometry, tissue staining, protein detection and bacterial growth, in modern, well-equipped laboratories4.We offer research-inspired teaching with input from experts in our university research centres, which focus on the themes of cellular and molecular biosciences, biological systems, health and disease, and physical activity, exercise and obesity.Support applying for placements in laboratory and industrial settings to gain crucial real-world experience2.You will have the opportunity to undertake challenging lab and non-lab-based independent research projects, dealing with important life science research questions, which in the past have tackled, for example, the antimicrobial activity of essential oils, cinnamon and ginger, against drug-resistant clinical pathogens or the effect of sleep deprivation on physiological and mental health in healthy young adults.If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.Sandwich study option is also available (4 years sandwich Condensed first year available).
