As a biomed student our weeks are usually busy with with going to lectures, seminars and labs weekly for each of my three modules as well fitting in independent studying.
Typically, I have two lectures on Monday, and one on Wednesday/Friday..
The only actual assessed work is done at the very end of the first year Oxford Biomedical Sciences course in 9th Week Trinity Term (summer term).
This is the Preliminary Examinations, where you sit a paper for each of the 4 Biomedical Sciences modules you take.
The first year of the Oxford Biomedical Sciences course is designed to give a varied breadth of topics to allow students to learn what they find most interesting and have a good overview of the body.
I really enjoyed endocrinology, especially learning about how the thyroid, pancreas and pituitary have systemic effects that influence many organs.
In the first year, biomedical engineering students complete the same common core courses as all other first-year engineering students.
Students apply for admission to the biomedical engineering specialization in February of that first year.
The start date of this programme is September 1 st.
Want to know if you can be admitted.
In the first year, you are familiarised with general theory in the field of biomedical sciences and develop the basic skills required to work in molecular and cellular biology.
