- Develop the skills which will enable you to practice at Higher Specialist Level.
- Use state-of-the-art equipment, such as flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and molecular analysers at the Maelor Academic Unit of Medical & Surgical Sciences (MAUMSS).

- Teaching will involve a range of learning methods including lectures, seminars, laboratory practicals, group discussions and presentations.
- Experimental work is an integral part of the programme. The academic and clinical staff are research active, and continually thrive to promote research within areas of biomedical and clinical sciences, where they regularly publish their findings and discuss their work at national and international conferences.
