COURSE CURRICULUM

Year 1 of biomedical science provides a foundational understanding of human health and its scientific underpinnings. In *Block 1: Professional & Practical Skills*, students are introduced to essential clinical lab techniques, emphasizing benchwork and the professional analysis and communication of findings. *Block 2: Chemistry and Biochemistry* delves into the basic principles of chemistry and biochemistry, exploring topics like genetics and the mechanisms behind diagnostic tests in healthcare. *Block 3: Anatomy and Physiology* builds on molecular knowledge, covering key organ systems and their relevance to human health and disease. Finally, *Block 4: Microbiology* expands the focus beyond human cells, studying bacterial and viral cells and examining global infectious diseases, providing a broad perspective on health challenges. This year is designed to lay a strong scientific and practical foundation for future studies in biomedical science.In Year 2, students delve into the more complex aspects of biomedical science, building upon the foundational knowledge from Year 1 and exploring advanced research techniques and their applications in diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases. *Block 1: Genetics and Molecular Pathology* focuses on the integration of genetics and genomics within the context of human health, examining laboratory techniques and inheritance patterns. *Block 2: Emerging Techniques* introduces cutting-edge research and diagnostic techniques crucial for biomedical research and diagnostics. *Block 3: Organ System Physiology* expands on the principles learned in Anatomy and Physiology, focusing on diagnostic tests and disease states within different organ systems. *Block 4: Human Health and Immunity* provides an introduction to immunobiology, inflammatory processes, and disorders, while developing an understanding of various disease mechanisms and the therapeutic approaches used to treat them. This year aims to deepen students' understanding of biomedical science's role in healthcare and disease management.In Year 3, the focus shifts to clinical specialties within biomedical science, enabling students to combine and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. *Block 1: Research Projects* gives students the opportunity to design and conduct an independent research project, allowing them to generate, interpret, and present their findings. *Block 2: Blood Science* applies biochemistry and cell physiology to the diagnosis and management of blood-related disorders and diseases. *Block 3: Infection and Immunity Sciences* explores microbiology, public health, and immunology, focusing on diagnostic techniques and therapeutic strategies used in this field. *Block 4: Cell Sciences* enhances students’ understanding of clinical genetics and cellular pathology, delving into the molecular mechanisms behind disease processes. This year integrates practical, specialized knowledge to prepare students for the clinical applications of biomedical science.
