All of our degrees in the department of biosciences and chemistry hold accreditation status (biology, biochemistry and human biology by the Royal Society of Biology, chemistry by the Royal Society of Chemistry and biomedical science by the Institute of Biomedical Science)
If you are considering a career ad a biomedical scientist it is import that you study and IBMS accredited degree.  Find out more at https://careers.ibms.org/graduates/]]> 2020-05-05 07:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/551256944 I have had a really good tutor at college who has helped me a lot. Will there be someone like that when I get to uni? k_rawlinson https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/551259339 Yes! you will be allocated an academic advisor (tutor) who will be one of the lecturers on your course. You will have regular meetings with your adviser, both together with the rest of your tutor group and individually.

You will also have an employability advisor and student support officer]]> 2020-05-05 07:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/551259339 Learning and disability support k_rawlinson https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/556913787 Yes absolutely.

Are you able to transfer into a different degree programme within those departments if you find interest in one specific area or is it possible to choose certain modules that align more to your interests. https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/601443113
Thanks.

Hello,  every course from second year has some level of module choice so you can choose subjects which align with your interests. You are also able, in some modules, to choose topics for presentations/essays etc.  In your final year you are also able to select an area for your research project which will form a big focus. 
There is considerable cross over between our courses and in some cases it is possible to swap your degree pathway, however this depends on a number of factors including spaces available, academic performance and whether the modules you have already studied are sufficient to underpin the new course.
If you havent visited our virtual open day page already, please do so as there are presentations over viewing course content https://www.shu.ac.uk/visit-us/course-open-day ]]> 2020-05-29 15:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/k_rawlinson/shubioandchem/wish/601443113
