2. Description of the Programme
Our Medical Sciences programme provides a firm foundation in the core biomedical and biomolecular sciences, alongside an insight into medical practice and the biotechnologies used to prevent, test and diagnose disorders and treat patients. To achieve this, the first part of the programme explores the bioscience advances underpinning the advancement of modern medical practice and gives you a wide ranging insight into how the human body normally works. We study this through focused small-group sessions designed to explore key scientific concepts and systems presented in the form of triggers. The style of trigger varies week by week but will include authentic patient-based clinical case studies, current media-worthy medical science breakthroughs and extracts from research papers. We then build on this foundation to see how things can go wrong in the body due to disease and how normal function might be restored. In this way you will develop a holistic understanding of human health that you can put into practice in a clinical setting as well as robust research skills, plus creative and inquisitive communication, leadership, critical appraisal and problem solving skills. You complete the same first year regardless of whether you choose Medical Sciences or one of our four specialist Medical Science pathways (Neuroscience, Human Genomics, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, or Health Research) to study a particular area in more depth, with your chosen specialism named as part of your degree title, for example, BSc Medical Sciences (Human Genomics). You will be introduced to modules in year two which are designated to the pathways and in the final year you will study advanced pathway specific modules and complete a research project within your chosen area. Alternatively, you may wish to graduate without ‘specialising’ in a pathway.
The overall programme, therefore, offers an innovative-approach to learning that includes supportive small-group learning; lectures, interactive seminars and workshops from world-leading experts in genetics, cell biology, microbiology, bioinformatics, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics and chemical biology; internationally renowned e-learning resources; hands-on sessions in research laboratories and clinical settings; inspirational clinician-scientist-patient sessions to develop career opportunities and employability training. Future career pathways include postgraduate study, either at a university or with the NHS; employment in knowledge industries, such as pharmaceuticals or medical technology (with roles in research and development, clinical trials, or sales and marketing); training and employment to become a Scientific Officer in the Civil Service; NHS management; postgraduate training for the NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP); or graduate entry to professional degrees such as BMBS, radiotherapy or other accredited healthcare programmes.
3. Educational Aims of the Programme
1. To develop skilled, creative and inquisitive graduates who are well prepared for successful graduate-level employment (e.g. in research to improve the health of individuals and the community by translating findings into diagnostic tools, medicines, procedures, policies and education etc);
2. To provide you with knowledge and understanding of translating science into clinical practice, from the fundamentals to the frontiers of the subject;
3. To provide you with the basic scientific, intellectual, and practical training that will prepare you for lifelong learning, demanded by todays competitive professional environment worldwide;
4. To offer you the opportunity to develop a more detailed understanding of the discipline by specialising in an area linked to the Medical Schools international research strengths.
5. To provide an opportunity to develop and apply knowledge, theory and skills within a professional training placement setting; and
6. To enable you to experience a supportive learning environment that fosters evidence-based academic and reflective personal development.
The programme introduces you to a foundation in the Medical Sciences, and subsequently enhances this competence and the development of intellectual capabilities within an institution that is committed to advancing research, scholarship and learning, and to disseminating knowledge. With this in mind, and underpinned by core biomedical sciences, successful students will develop a holistic understanding of social, health and environmental factors that impact human health and how new scientific discoveries across these areas are translated into practice to benefit front-line clinicians, their multidisciplinary teams and ultimately their patients.
N.B. The programme does not train you to be “NHS Healthcare Scientists” or “Clinical Scientists”, able to apply immediately for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. As a life-sciences graduate, however, you may be able to enrol on the accredited (competitive-entry) postgraduate NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP).

4. Programme Structure
The programme is of 3 year duration and studied full time at National Qualification Framework (NQF) level 6 (as confirmed against the FHEQ), which is divided into ‘stages’. Each stage is normally equivalent to an academic year. You will be located at St Luke’s and Streatham Campuses of the University of Exeter for the duration of your studies. The programme is divided into units of study called ‘modules’ which are assigned a number of ‘credits’. The credit rating of a module is proportional to the total workload, with 1 credit being nominally equivalent to 10 hours of work.
For full details of the programme, including module details and career prospects, please visit the Medical School and College of Life and Environmental Sciences websites.
5. Programme Modules
The following tables describe the programme and constituent modules. Constituent modules may be updated, deleted or replaced as a consequence of the annual programme review of this programme.
http://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/medicalsci/medicalsci/
Stage 1
In your first year you will follow a compulsory programme of 120 credits which is common to all BSc Medical Sciences students, in which you will explore the science that underpins the advancement of modern medical practice. The emphasis is on basic cellular and molecular biology and understanding the normal functioning of the human body, from enzymes through to whole biological systems. Without this core knowledge of how the body works, it would be impossible for us, as scientists, to devise the new diagnostic tests, drugs or treatments that will best benefit patients.
Alongside traditional lectures, tutorials and laboratory practicals, you will engage in small group work where you are given the freedom to explore a scientific topic under the expert guidance of our tutors (in the Integrated Human Physiology module). Your core laboratory skills will be developed through laboratory-based practicals that run alongside and support your other sessions. Some sessions also involve a doctor, scientist and patient to explore key clinical cases from three different perspectives.
You will begin to compile your Personal Development and Professionalism Portfolio, in which you chart your progress from a new student to a professional individual ready for the world of employment. You’ll do this by analysing your academic performance and employability skills through reflection and the frequent feedback offered by the school to identify opportunities for personal and professional development, in order to help you achieve your career goals.
Support for your academic progress and career planning is provided by your Academic Tutor. Additionally, training and support is provided through various workshops and seminars organised by the Programme’s Academic Lead for Careers and Employability within the compulsory core module, Fundamental Skills for Medical Scientists (CSC1004, 30 credits) and the non-credit-bearing module, Academic and Professional Support (CSC1905). Some of these sessions are delivered by the dedicated Careers Consultant assigned to the college. At this level, you will begin to compile your Personal Development and Professionalism portfolio, a collection of work and feedback that documents your development into a highly employable, skilled graduate.
Please note that successful completion of the University’s training on Academic Honesty and Plagiarism, within the CSC1004 module, is compulsory in order for you to progress to Stage 2 of study. In order to pass, you must achieve at least 80% on the assessment, but you may attempt the assessment as many times as is necessary.
You will also receive lectures and information during Stage 1 to preview different specialist pathways available to inform your choice in Year 2 if you decide to study a topic in more depth.

Stage 2
The second year focuses on the scientific basis of important diseases, beginning with some fundamental insights into the ways in which human biology goes awry in disease. This knowledge is then used to explore how cutting-edge scientific technologies can be exploited to advance disease diagnosis and treatment.
Within a variety of learning environments, including lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory practicals and small group learning, you will have opportunities to investigate and debate how disease develops and how healthcare can be improved. Key aspects of applied research are explored including clinical and medical research methods and its design and setting (including governance, ethics, funding, testable hypothesis development, data handling and communication) within healthcare environments. Your understanding of these areas develops through a variety of hands-on learning opportunities which enhance your practical research skills and knowledge of contemporary medical research issues.
When choosing modules for Stage 2, you will need to consider whether you will continue with the core programme, or if you intend to embark on a specialism. A specialism entails completing the core modules for the BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences, plus at least 90 Level 5 and Level 6 credits from specialist modules in a given area of medical science. Some of these specialist credits may reflect optional module choices, whereas other modules are compulsory for the pathway, and the 45-credit final year Project CSC4028 (Medical Sciences Literature Review) or CSC4029 (Medical Sciences Research Project) must explore a subject appropriate to the given specialism.

Stage 3
In your final year you have opportunities to study cutting-edge science and undertake research to help improve current human and medical knowledge and practice. In addition to the core modules, you can select from a wide range of optional specialist advanced modules, enabling you to tailor your degree to match your own specific interests and career ambitions.
You’ll look at authentic and complex clinical case scenarios and, working as a team, you’ll apply evidence-based scientific theory and explore and critically evaluate emerging health technologies to help improve patient health. During this stage, you will either undertake a clinical/medical research project, or a scholarly review closely supervised by an expert research professional as part of the modules CSC4028 (Medical Sciences Literature Review) or CSC4029 (Medical Sciences Research Project). When following a pathway, you must complete a project or scholarly review that directly relates to your specialism. Projects and Dissertations do not automatically relate to the named specialisms. Your Project counts towards a named Pathway and you must, therefore, take one that has been designated as such.
You’ll also complete your Personal Development and Professionalism Portfolio. Support will be provided by the Academic Lead for Careers and Employability to help you consider your career options and help consolidate your CV and interview technique. This and related activities are managed within the core Academic and Professional Support module (CSC3905, 0 credits).
Your choice of modules for Stage 3 will depend on your choice of core programme or pathway programme. Please remember that the requirements of any pathway comprises modules for the core BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences, plus at least 45 credits from specialist pathway modules at stages 2 and 3, as outlined in this document, including any core pathway modules. In addition, the core 45-credit final year Project CSC4028 (Medical Sciences Literature Review) or CSC4029 (Medical Sciences Research Project), on a subject specific to the pathway will be taken. The total credit load for each pathway, therefore, is at least 90.
Specialist designation of all modules, projects, dissertations etc will be confirmed by the Medical School and may be granted, withdrawn or amended by the CMH accordingly.
Specific guidance for Stage 3 is provided, below:
• If you wish to continue on the core programme, you are required to complete 120 credits at Stage 3, made up of 75 credits of compulsory modules (see table 3) and 45 credits of optional modules from Table 3 below and from modules developed and advertised annually on the CMH intranet.
