Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery [M.B.B.S] From University of Central Lancashire

The programme is designed to train independent, innovative scientists who can develop and use quantitative techniques to advance genomic medical research. The first year comprises taught modules together with two research rotations.Ê

Successful progress throughout the first year culminates in the choice of the three-year research project that will allow each student to develop and execute a coherent body of research that combines quantitative methods with direct involvement in medical research.Ê

An important feature of this project is that all students will have two supervisors, one from a mathematics, engineering or other quantitative science background, and the second from a genetics or genomics biomedical background.

Learning Outcomes

To be an independent, innovative researcher with developed skills in quantitative techniques and theoretical approaches and the ability to apply those skills to practical problems in translational and basic biomedical research.
