This research-informed BSc programme delivers core biomedical science content as far as possible in an infection and immunity research context. Drawing on the world-class research carried out in the UCL Division of Infection & Immunity, it provides students with real insight into how discovery science is carried out at the very highest level.
Your learning
Teaching is delivered through a mix of blended learning, lectures, laboratory work, journal clubs and tutorials.
Most year one and some year two content is delivered through an innovative blended learning system; students learn at their own pace from short online videos followed up by tutorials to discuss content and explore topics in greater depth.
Assessment
We use a diverse selection of methods for formative and summative assessment: online and written examinations (question formats include: multiple-choice, short-answer, long answer, data analysis); poster presentations; coursework essays and commentaries; oral presentations; practical skills assessment; online participation; oral examination; research project dissertation.
Careers
Graduates of this programme will have acquired a robust and transferable skill set: critical analysis, data interpretation, communication skills and independent thinking. They will be well placed to apply to the most competitive postgraduate programmes and well equipped for a career in research, teaching, or associated biomedical professions.
