Pathology

Pathology details the fundamental cellular processes that lead to the development of disease. The module also explores how these processes relate to dysfunction within tissues and organs and ultimately the presentation of typical pathological phenotypes and patient symptoms. Diseases with genetic origins (such as congenital ichthyosis) and environmental origins (such as lung disease) will be considered, as will the interactions between the two (as in cardiovascular disease). There is a significant emphasis on delivering career-relevant laboratory skills used in the diagnosis of disease, particularly histological approaches as well as molecular techniques. Real-life case studies are considered throughout each topic, helping you to gain confidence in the identification of common disease traits through regular diagnostic lab simulations in class.

Module code: SCI3316

The module will also cover contributions to nutrient cycling, processes in the rhizosphere (the soil-root interface) and ecosystem resilience under anthropogenic stressors. You will gain an understanding of soil as a dynamic habitat, investigating the species and biological processes that underpin the ecosystem services that soil provides. Through lectures, laboratory work, and field studies, the module integrates theory with practical skills, preparing students to study soil systems as researchers or working in the context of habitat conservation and land management.

Module code: SCI3371

Ecotoxicology

Ecotoxicology provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of ecotoxicology, the study of the effects of chemicals on organisms and ecosystems. You will explore how pollutants move through and impact the environment, from global-scale contamination issues to specific case studies of industrial and agricultural pollution. Through lectures, practical laboratory work, and data analysis, you will develop an understanding of pollutant behaviour, toxicity testing, risk assessment, and remediation strategies. The module aims to integrate theoretical concepts with practical experience in assessing and managing environmental toxicants.

Module code: SCI3372
