Why study in our School of Biological Sciences? We are the largest school in the University with over 50 academic staff, more than 800 undergraduates, over 190 postgraduates and 32 research officers.We carry out research and teaching in a broad portfolio of subjects, including molecular medicine, protein characterisation, ageing, health and exercise, and medical optics.


We offer a range of provision aimed at health professionals in biomedical science and cardiology. There are opportunities to study full- and part-time and on a modular basis, allowing you to study alongside work and other commitments. It is also possible to take individual modules on a stand-alone basis, for continuing professional development (CPD) purposes.


Essex Biomedical Sciences Institute (EBSI) EBSI is a network organisation promoting and facilitating clinically-relevant biomedical/ health-related research, involving collaborations between academic staff at our University (principally in our School) and clinicians in hospital NHS Trusts in the region.


We provide the essential infrastructure, support and facilities, as well as scientific and clinical expertise for conducting cutting-edge translational research covering a broad range of


clinical specialities. This creates a flourishing research environment and strengthens the links between the University and local NHS Trusts, as well as forming an important part of a wider strategy enabling development of medical education at Essex.


How will I be supported throughout my studies at Essex? You will be supported from the time of application through to graduation. Once you are enrolled on a course you will receive an electronic copy of the course handbook. This handbook is designed to provide information on areas ranging from our School’s structure and facilities, through to academic matters and student support.


Electronic module handbooks are provided for each individual module taken. These handbooks contain details of teaching and assessment, including lectures, practicals, workshops (if appropriate), learning outcomes, objectives and a bibliography.


Each Masters course is managed by a course director, who will be happy to assist with any academic queries. Our Postgraduate Taught Administrator is the point of contact for receipt and collection of coursework, and all course-related enquiries.
