Become an expert in biomedical sciences, a rapidly growing area developing solutions to a range of challenges linked to maintaining health and wellbeing at each stage of life. You’ll gain an integrated knowledge of the human body, how its organs, tissues and cells work together to keep you healthy, and what goes wrong in disease. Explore cutting-edge research in areas such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, drug discovery, cancer biology and dementia. You’ll be part of an engaging learning experience, informed by our research and delivered by world-leading academics. Staff in our school are leaders in the disciplines of biomedical sciences – including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, biochemistry and microbiology – with many working in conjunction with other disciplines such as medical engineering, advanced materials science, computing and robotics. Our focus is on preparing you for the workplace. You'll undertake an independent Capstone Research Project that will bring together the knowledge and skills you've developed throughout your degree. This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training. You'll study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project within one of the major research laboratories in the School of Biomedical Sciences or an appropriate period of work-based practice. You may also choose to apply for [our three-year BSc](https://courses.leeds.ac.uk/j415/biomedical-sciences-bsc) and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. **Why study at Leeds** * Study with one of the largest centres for biological sciences research in the UK**,** with access to [cutting‑edge facilities,](https://biologicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/teaching-facilities) industry links and specialist research opportunities. * Learn through inspirational, engaging and inclusive teaching designed to build broad scientific knowledge and develop the skills and attributes you’ll need to become a future thinker, innovator and leader, equipped to make a positive difference in a complex and ever-changing interconnected world. * Build the competencies employers look for through dedicated experimental skills modules that develop the practical, experimental and analytical skills needed to identify problems and design experiments that address real biomedical questions. * The opportunity to undertake an independent capstone research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing key skills and attributes that will set you apart in both the competitive graduate job market and/or when seeking to commence a Masters degree or PhD. * Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV. * Experience life and learning in a different country through our study abroad programme, where you'll gain fresh perspectives and develop skills valued by employers. * [Flexible options ](http://biologicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/flexible-degrees-1)to transfer onto other suitable and related degrees at the end of year 1, as many programmes within our School share a common first year.
A Level: AAA | Including Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Critical Thinking and General Studies are excluded. We accept the following: Science: Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and PE. Science-related: Computing, Environmental Science, Food Science, Geography, Geology, Psychology, and Statistics. Applicants taking a Science A-level (in England) will be required to achieve a pass in the practical element in addition to the standard A-level grade requirement. When an applicant is taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), the Cambridge International Project Qualification (Cambridge IPQ) or Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate, this can be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you’re taking A-levels, this would be a one-grade drop from the standard offer. For example, A in one of the above qualifications with AAB at A-level (MBiol applicants). GCSE: Grade 6 (B) or above at GCSE maths and Grade 4 (C) or above at GCSE English. The Faculty of Biological Sciences will accept Level 2 Functional Skills as equivalent to C/4 in GCSE English. | Scottish Advanced Higher | Five Highers AABBB, with AA in two Advanced Highers Including Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Critical Thinking and General Studies excluded. We accept the following: ● Science: Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. ● Science-related: Geography, PE, Psychology, Use of Maths and Statistics. Scottish Higher: Scottish Highers not accepted on their own. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 31 UCAS points | 31 overall with 6,6,6 at higher level, including Biology or Chemistry and another science or science-related subject. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017): H2H2H2H2H2H2 | Including Biology or Chemistry, and another science or science-related at Higher Level. | Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal: D3D3D3 | Including D3 in Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Global Perspectives excluded. When an applicant is taking Global Perspectives, this can be considered alongside Pre-U subjects and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. This would be D3/D3/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives.
IELTS 6.0 overall, with no less than 5.5 in any component.
