This is a 15-credit 3rd year module that develops students’ understanding of contemporary issues in biological and biomedical sciences. It allows students to build on the knowledge and skills they have developed over the course of their studies and apply their skills to some of the most challenging and relevant issues facing the modern world. The skills developed and utilised in this module are highly valued in many different career pathways and give students the early-career skills they will need to excel as they progress. Students will be assessed by group work in the form of a science communication piece and an individual report.
