The goal of this module is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of robotic systems in healthcare engineering to develop specialised knowledge in the field and new research interests. Through this module the students will also learn about the challenges related to the development of novel medical devices and the regulations that guide this process.

Pharmacology is a lively scientific discipline which provides a basis for the use of drugs in therapy and beyond. We aim to provide a good background for scientists who need to understand how drugs act and are developed.

Teaching starts in term 2 with weekly lectures and small group problem-based tutorial activities. By the end of this module the students are expected to understand the principal basis of therapeutics.

Pharmacology and Drug Action requires an intermediate level background in human physiology and biochemistry. The module is compulsory for students on the Applied Medical Sciences degree. Numbers are limited and preference will be given to students for whom MEDC0013 is a recommended option.

Module Overview:

This module will enable participants to develop an understanding of key issues in the leadership of change in healthcare and health...

Students may choose Student Selected Components (SSCs) in years one, two and six and in the elective period in year six.

SSCs allow students to pursue special interests and develop a range of generic skills. In year 1 and year 2 up to 30 different SSCs are offered, including; Taught medical, Humanities, Social sciences, Language courses, and self-organised projects including volunteering activities.

Teaching and assessment varies between each SSC but generally each SSC involves considerable interaction, creative thinking, group working, and writing and presentation skills. You will be asked to submit preferences for individual SSCs during Term 1.
