The module provides an understanding of the
basic principles of pharmacology and examines
the effects of drugs on different body systems.
This module aims to provide a firm
understanding of the principles and practice of
clinical microbiology; principally bacteriology and
virology. Taught lectures and interactive tutorials
will introduce the theory of infectious disease
whilst laboratory classes cover the standard
methodologies applied in the diagnosis of
infection, and their safe practice

This module will develop an understanding of
the molecular genetic basis of inherited and
somatic disease in humans

The module studies the interactions between
nutrition, diet and other factors in the prevention
and causes of disease and ill health. Nutritional
aspects of obesity, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes prevention, cancer prevention, bone
health, dental health, eating disorders, physical
activity and sports performance are explored in
depth. Students are introduced to nutritional
epidemiology, study design, critical appraisal
and literature review. Theories of public health,
health policy, health education and health
promotion are introduced

This module will build on students' previous
knowledge of normal physiology and
pathophysiology and on any specialist
experience to provide an in-depth knowledge
and understanding of selected disease
processes and on the scientific basis of modern
methods of diagnosis and treatment.
To provide an integrated view of the
pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms
of toxicity consequent on exposure to manmade and natural toxic chemicals in mammals
and other selected animals. The material will
consist of three sections covering: (1)
Biochemical Toxicology (2) Analytical methods
for monitoring of drugs and their metabolites (3)
Mechanisms of Toxicity
