Entry Requirements

To be considered for the course, a candidate must hold one of the following qualifications prior to the commencement of the programme:

An initial honours degree of Wrexham Glyndŵr University or another approved degree-awarding body.

A minimum of 2:2 honours degree, which has a significant content of biological science (e.g. Biomedical Science, Human Biology, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, etc.)

Prospective students may also apply for the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) against specific modules in accordance with Wrexham Glyndŵr University regulations.

Students undertaking a research project (dissertation) that entails working in an area other than their usual place of work must obtain a relevant DBS.
