Medical Science with Professional Experience

About this course

Medical science sits at the boundary between the biomedical laboratory and clinical practice, examining the biological mechanisms that underlie health and disease and the scientific methods used to investigate them. It draws on biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, immunology, genetics, and pathology to build a picture of how the body works and what goes wrong in illness. For anyone who wants to understand medicine at a molecular and cellular level, without following the path of a clinical medical degree, medical science offers a rigorous, intellectually rich alternative. At the University of Reading, this four-year full-time programme incorporates a professional experience element, giving you structured exposure to a working environment during your degree. This integration of study and practice is a distinguishing feature of the course, allowing you to apply your scientific knowledge
