Medical Microbiology BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/medical-microbiology-bsc
Infectious diseases account for a quarter of all deaths. It’s a hard statistic to take in, but it’s why we keep studying the microscopic organisms that cause them. In this degree, you’ll learn how infectious diseases are caused, prevented, managed and cured – in both research and clinical environments... -
Medical Biochemistry BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/medical-biochemistry-bsc
Many of today’s common diseases are linked to defects in the molecular processes that occur in the body. To make big breakthroughs in diagnosing and treating disease, we therefore often have to look at life at the molecular level. Studying biochemistry in this way will give you an understanding of some of the world’s most pressing health issues... -
Medical Physiology BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/medical-physiology-bsc
The human body works through complex interactions between ions, atoms, molecules, cells and systems. Whilst allowing maintenance of diverse functions in health, even subtle changes can result in disease. Understanding how these components operate in normal physiology and how they malfunction in disease provides the opportunity to understand how we target disease and how new therapies might be developed... -
Medical Genetics BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/medical-genetics-bsc
Genetics and molecular biology already tell us so much about who we are. But when researched and tested in the right ways, they also tell us how to better diagnose and treat disease. If this sounds up your alley, this degree is for you... -
Biological Sciences (Microbiology) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-microbiology-bsc
Microorganisms. They might be small, but they tell us more about life on Earth than almost any other living things. You’ll learn how they’re both helpful and harmful, as well as the evolving role of microbiology in biotechnology, health and disease. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year... -
Biological Sciences (Neuroscience) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-neuroscience-bsc
The nervous system extends throughout the body both in Man and in other organisms to control many complex functions. Alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system, from the molecular to the systems level, can result in disease, thereby highlighting the importance of understanding the nervous system and being able to target it to treat disease... -
Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-physiology-with-pharmacology-bsc
There are complex relationships between molecules, cells and systems that require precise control to allow optimum function within living organisms. Alterations in these relationships can lead to disease and an understanding of such events can provide the foundation for the use of drugs to treat disease... -
Biological Sciences (Genetics) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-genetics-bsc
From human health to food production, genetics impacts many aspects of society. You’ll look at how genetics functions in today’s biosciences, as well as what it takes to work at the forefront of the industry. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year... -
Biological Sciences (Zoology) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-zoology-bsc
Zoology covers the behaviour, ecology and evolution of everything within the animal kingdom. Alongside the fundamental theories of zoology, you’ll also gain hands-on lab and fieldwork experience. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year...
