Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Bristol

Our aim is to inspire you to turn science into medicine. Students will learn about the cellular and molecular basis of human diseases caused by micro-organisms. These areas of study include SARS-CoV-2, influenza, meningitis, and AIDS, as well as cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and arthritis.

Our innovative teaching includes resources designed to prepare you for practical classes by demonstrating concepts and experiments through animations, videos and pre-lab quizzes.

In lectures you'll study concepts at the forefront of knowledge about the mechanisms of human disease. Our teaching reflects our research which aims to translate laboratory discoveries into clinical application.

Unit structure

The school offers many classes that are based in a single semester, and can therefore accept unit requests from Study Abroad students who want to join Bristol for just the autumn or spring semester.

Unit levels

The school offers units across all undergraduate levels of study: year 1 (level C/4), year 2 (level I/5), and year 3 (level H/6) units. Postgraduate units are not available.

Unit codes

Unit codes in the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine begin with 'PANM'. This is followed by a number indicating the year (1, 2, 3). For example:

• PANM10000 = year 1 unit
• PANM20000 = year 2 unit
• PANM30000 = year 3 unit.

For more information about each unit, check the University's unit catalogue for 2023/24. Applicants on all study abroad programmes must review the unit details on the catalogue before listing unit choices on their application form. This includes checking the format of assessment for each unit. The unit catalogue for 2023/24 is updated by April 2023.

Your unit choices cannot be guaranteed. Some units may not have capacity to accommodate all of the unit requests we receive. Registration on a unit also depends on whether you meet the pre-requisite conditions through prior study at your home university.
