HB101
Foundation In Biochemistry

This module examines, at the molecular level, the essential features of living organisms starting with the chemical and biological properties of biological molecules and the assembly of supra-molecular biological structures. The catalysis and control of biochemical reactions are dealt with as are some energy transduction systems. Finally, the Central Dogma of molecular biology is discussed along with the biochemistry of genetic information flow and repair.

HB102
Microbiology

This module provides an opportunity to extend knowledge of basic microbiology, with an emphasis on the background and practice of laboratory techniques.

HB106
Introduction to Statistics

This module applies previously learned mathematical skills within a scientific context as well as building on these skills to allow students to apply statistics to testing scientific data.

HB107
Human Life Cycle

This module traces the biological changes and processes involved in the human life cycle including reproduction, development and ageing.

HB108
Genes, Organisms and Populations

The module considers several aspects of genetics to give a coherent approach. It will develop an understanding of variation at gene, individual and population level.

HB110B
Developing Graduate Skills

This module is designed to enable students to demonstrate that they have all the qualities and transferable skills necessary for appropriate academic work and employment requiring the exercise of responsibility and decision making, including the ability to relate their professional practice to underlying theory and principles.

HB112
Introduction to Anatomy

This module introduces the student to the fundamentals of anatomy and histology, underpinning the physiology module in the second year. Students explore current and future research into a range of prostheses, including dentures, hearing aids, artificial eyes and even gastric bands. Tissue engineering research and its current abilities and failings will be discussed.

HB209
Biochemistry: Molecules, cells and the body

The module illustrates how the complex collection of chemical reactions required for human life is co-ordinated on a range of levels: control of pathways; compartmentation of metabolic processes between organelles and between tissues and the sharing of metabolic load between tissues.

HB210
Microbial World

The module reviews the diversity of the microbial work including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. It emphasises their importance in the natural environment and in human affairs.

HB211
Genetic Continuity and Diversity

This module considers the processes which maintain genetic stability and promote genetic diversity at different levels of biological organisation. It then develops a broad range of applications which have resulted from increasing awareness of the genome, its structure, and interaction with the environment.

HB213
Human Physiology

This module describes and explains the physiological processes involved in human respiration, circulation, osmoregulation and excretion and digestion. It provides experience of physiological measurement data acquisition and analysis. It describes and explains the mechanisms involved in controlling and co-ordinating human functions including human movement, and develops practical skills in experimental investigation and interpretation.

HB214
Human Bioscience Research

This module focuses on core skills and techniques in laboratory studies and data analysis essential to Human Biosciences. Practical work needs to be performed safely and efficiently within an appropriate experimental design, results described and analysed competently, and outcomes effectively presented. Students complete a chosen research project and a literature review of a topic addressing wider issues.

PETR2121
Immunology and Cell Biology

This module covers the basic structures and functions of eukaryotic cells together with the principles underlying the major techniques used in modern studies of cellular biology. It contains a comprehensive introduction to fundamental immunology with particular reference to cellular and humoral responses
