Very interesting course. The practicals associated with it are very enjoyable and allow us to put our knowledge into practice. Lectures, practicals and seminars are nicely spaced out throughout the year and the work we get assigned is a fair amount. One improvement involves the feedback received on assignments; I feel that students need further elaboration on it as it is, at times, slightly unclear. read more

Cannot get a biomedical job with this degree. Other universities offer accredited degrees which this is not. It was a waste of 3 years for me and I wish I went to a different university. The teaching was poor and staff were unhelpful and hostile. read more

I enjoy my course and find the content really interesting. Sometimes the quality of teaching can fall down during practicals and write ups as you dont get much help and are expected to do a lot within short amount of time during and after for the lab reports. I am not sure what i want to do after my degree. read more
