HONOURS BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE
MED4HNB
2018
Credit points: 60
Subject outline
The honours year will comprise a project related to Biomedical Science plus associated coursework. Students will normally be based in one of the Departments which contribute to third year medical science. The project will contribute to the final result in the proportion applying to all Honours students in that Department. With the approval of the Departmental Honours Co-ordinator, the coursework component may include work undertaken in another Department. Overall assessment will be the same as for the existing Honours program offered by that Department. A consolidated ranking of Honours students in the Department will be produced. Each fourth-year program requires approval by the supervisor and the relevant Departmental Honours Co-ordinator. The Biomedical Science Course Adviser may facilitate this process.
