Pre-University Medical Science (Online)

Our Pre-University Online Summer School courses help prepare you for University. They offer an in-depth exploration of a subject area at degree level, and improve students’ understanding of university study. Our courses provide insight into the key debates, themes and cutting edge research areas of a subject. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate on group assignments and experience social learning which are central elements of undergraduate study.

The study of health, medicine, disease and treatment has never been more important. This course will develop your understanding of how the body functions - looking at the cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal and neuroendocrine systems - as well as diagnositic procedures, current teatments of diseases and management of medical emergencies.

Taught by tutors from the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, this course will challenge you with a university-level exploration of these concepts, and cover pioneering innovations in areas such as telehealth and virtual reality healthcare.

By the end of the module, you should have:

• experienced a variety of learning activities typical of first year undergraduate study

• built relevant knowledge to support future study in the field of Biomedical and Life Sciences

• carried out independent research on a given topic and produced a structured and well supported response to an assignment brief

• worked collaboratively in diverse groups to produce a presentation

This course is ideal for any student considering a degree in Healthcare, Medicine, Nursing, Anatomy, Physiology or other Life Sciences.
