During your studies you will develop the skills to perform investigations in our state of the art laboratories, you will learn how to examine health data to identify trends in disease, diagnose conditions through the mathematical analysis of physiological data, and use biomedical equipment to perform and evaluate physiological tests. The content of this Medical Science qualification has been supported by universities in terms of providing general scientific understanding that will enable students to access Higher Education. This course is ideal for students who are taking additional level 3 courses in science, sport, and health and social care, and who are intending to progress to careers or further study in areas such as: – Biomedical Science – Life Sciences – Healthcare roles (nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery etc.)
To ensure you have the best possible chance of success in the Medical Science course, you will need grades 5 or above in Science, Mathematics and English. The most important requirement is that you possess a drive to learn about the biological basis, research, diagnosis and management of medical problems. There is also a mathematical aspect to the course, particularly in terms of data analysis.
This course is assessed by 6 units. 2 are externally assessed written examinations, 1 is a practical task completed in the lab, then externally assessed. External assessments are set and marked by WJEC. The remaining 3 are internally assessed units and are marked by the teacher, then moderated by WJEC. A grade (A-E) in each unit will be awarded a certain number of points. At the end of the course, these points will be totalled to provide an overall mark for the course, ranging from A* to E.
