ICS - New iBSc started September 2016

The course is designed to build upon existing knowledge of cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology and give a sound, but contemporary view, of the scientific basis of cardiovascular disease and how this relates to clinical diagnosis and patient treatment. Specifically, the course will enable students to: 

• gain a holistic view of the heart and circulation through an understanding of the physiological, pharmacological and pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning cardiovascular function in health and disease
• develop an understanding of the etiology, diagnosis and clinical management of common cardiovascular diseases through case-based, team work and class discussions
• appreciate current controversies and as well as the limitations of knowledge in the field of cardiovascular sciences
• critically appraise basic science and clinical research papers with respect to experimental design, analytical methods and conclusions in a variety of cardiovascular related topics
• have a foundation in scientific methodology and be able to use appropriate standard statistical techniques for analysing data as well as interpreting data
• become an independent learner by leading on their own research project in an area of specialist interest.
• demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills
