In Integrative Biomedical Sciences 1 (IBMS1) you will develop a foundational core biological knowledge in the context of a biomedical background. The course will provide a broad introduction to all aspects of biomedical sciences. In Semester 1 you will critically explore foundational concepts in biology like cell theory, evolution, and the genetic basis of life. In Semester 2 you will explore key physiological systems (nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal, immune, cardiovascular and pulmonary). Throughout the course you will develop your communication, laboratory and group-work skills.

In Integrative Biomedical Sciences 3 (IBMS3) you will develop strong foundations for working in a research environment. A major focus will be on developing critical skills such as the ability of properly design and critically interpreting experiments that will be absolutely necessary for you to become a biomedical scientist. After taking this course you will be able to: 1. Discuss and summarise topics related to modern problems in biomedical sciences, including physiology, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology.

The Integrative Biomedical Sciences 4 course is primarily aimed at developing the skills required for a successful postgraduate career in science and related industries. By this stage in the programme you should already be well-versed in the principles of experimental design. This course will build on these skills and extend them to design of programmes of research. Initially this will involve analysing the rationale behind programmes presented in research seminars before learning research proposal skills.

<p>In semester 2 of year 4, you will spend 11 weeks in a lab carrying out a research project. Students should actively and regularly engage with their supervisor, meeting in-person a minimum of once every two weeks while engaging with their project work. Both student and supervisor will report on engagement via Check Point Surveys at the end of weeks 3 and week 7. The process of regular discussion with the supervisor during the research phase of the project will, hopefully, ensure that no major errors or inaccuracies develop in the design and execution of the experimental work.

This summative in-course assignment involves writing a literature review and research proposal related to your semester 2 lab project.This assignment forms 100% of the assessment for the Integrative Biomedical Sciences Research Project Preview course for your UoE degree. As such, in completing this assignment you are required to demonstrate that you have met all of the learning outcomes: 1. Discuss the science underlying a research project and critically analyse the evidence presented in these studies.

Students are required to answer one question from five available questions during the exam. They are marked according to the following criteria: Evidence of highly refined, critical personal view and judgement in selecting, evaluating and integrating relevant material from within and outside that taught in the programme. Highly detailed knowledge drawn from many sources that directly addresses the question, and gives many relevant examples of scientific evidence, concepts, theories, and/or gaps in the knowledge.
