To be considered for the course, a candidate must hold one of the following qualifications prior to the commencement of the programme:

An initial honours degree of Wrexham Glyndŵr University or another approved degree-awarding body.

A minimum of 2:2 honours degree, which has a significant content of biological science (e.g. Biomedical Science, Human Biology, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, etc.)

Students undertaking a research project (dissertation) that entails working in an area other than their usual place of work must obtain a relevant DBS.
