All the support you need
We put our all into making this the best learning experience for you. You'll be taught by a friendly team of experts who are passionate about what they do. And because student numbers on our BMedSci are relatively small, it means we can give you the right level of individual support. We'll help you discover what areas interest you most, and motivate you to be the best you can be.
Our caring approach to learning shows – in a recent survey an impressive 94 per cent of our students said they were happy with their course, along with the enthusiasm of staff and the quality of their feedback (Oxford Research Agency Student Satisfaction Survey 2011).
The BMedSci in Health and Human Sciences is a three-year, full-time degree. You'll get to grips with a wide range of disciplines, from biomedicine and ethics to health care management and policy.
