Applied Medical Sciences with a Placement Year

About this course

Applied medical sciences is a discipline that bridges the gap between fundamental life science and clinical medicine, developing graduates who can apply scientific knowledge directly to the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. Rather than focusing narrowly on a single biomedical science, it gives you breadth across areas such as biomedical science, human physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and the scientific principles that underpin clinical practice. The applied emphasis means that scientific understanding is always situated in its healthcare context. At Swansea this four-year full-time programme includes a placement year, giving you extended professional experience in a clinical or research setting before you return to complete your final year. That placement is a distinguishing feature of the degree, ensuring that the science you study is connected to real healt
