Every postgraduate taught course has a detailed programme specification document describing the programme aims, the programme structure, the teaching and learning methods, the learning outcomes and the rules of assessment.

• Applicants should have a good honours degree awarded by a UK institute of higher education in a biomedical or biological-related subject, or the international equivalent. Those with a lower second-class honours degree, an alternative subject qualification, or relevant work-based experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered on an individual basis. A short interview may also be undertaken as part of the applications process.
