Module description

The Biosciences Modules open to Study Abroad students are under a different catalogue:

(the page you first land on may say Sorry, this activity is currently hidden, please ignore and scroll down to the link Study Abroad Modules running 2023-2024 )

The biosciences catalogue can be filtered by semester (SY means Full Year). NSY might mean either semester, check under the module description.

Biosciences modules timetables are available under 'DOWs' (Day Of the Week).
If only 1 or 2 days are listed, the module will likely be running all day so it is best to avoid selecting other modules in the same semester on these days (unless the module description clearly states it can run alongside another).
If the module is listed as running every day or 'flexible' (generally Level 4 modules), please be reassured this will be explained during the compulsory Study Abroad Orientation Week.

For the following research modules, students will competitively select from a set list of projects, generally at the beginning of the year (sometimes earlier, meaning your choice may be limited). The lists will not be accessible to you until you have enrolled (end of August for Sem 1/Full year), so please contact the Global Mobility Office and we can can either provide them or tell you who to contact.

6BBI0310 Research Project in Infection and Immunity A (project selection end of August) Please note that there is an oral presentation in mid-February for this module. Whilst it can be arranged online for Semester 1-only Study Abroad students, it will mean that the final grade for the module will not be available until July)

6BBM0319 Pharmacology Library Project (runs in both Sem 1 and Sem 2 independently)

6BBYN305 Neurosciences Literature-Based Research Project (project selection in November)

6BBYN306 Laboratory Research Project in Neuroscience (project selection end of August. Full Year students only, must take 6BBYN307 in sem 1)
