Student Profile – Samuel Harris

The 4 year BSc course offers a placement year which allowed me to

build on fundamental experiences and is paving the way for further

research.

I was able to construct a dissertation based on archaeomagnetic dating

and I hope to take this with me to master’s level and beyond.

Some of my best experiences have been the field trips around the UK

visiting the famous (Stonehenge Landscape), and not so famous

(Ingram Valley) archaeological sites.

Page 8: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Student Profile – Elliott Greenwood

While being at the university I have managed to get involved in some

amazing things.

A great example of this is the extracurricular project set up by students.

The project looks at research from the field of tissue engineering.

Not only did we receive funding for the project, we also travelled around

the country and visited research labs that carry out experiments that

shape the future of tissue engineering.

Page 9: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Chemistry and Forensic Science

• Experience of modern multidisciplinary science that produces graduates with high employability.

Courses available

Page 10: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Chemistry and Forensic Science – Special Features Flexible study patterns including 'practitioner' (BSc) and 'researcher'

(MChem/MSci) pathways .

An opportunity to spend a year gaining experience in the workplace supported by the Department's sandwich course programme.

Training in modern spectroscopic and analytical techniques that includes 'hands-on' experience of the use of research equipment.

A focus on practical work that enables students to develop confidence and experience in specialist laboratory environments.

Our record in placing graduates into employment is one of the best in the country.

Student Profile - Malgorzata WyszeckaI just finished my third year of chemistry and the atmosphere at

the university is great!

I love the fact that the course is not overcrowded and

lecturers know everyone by their names and that you can

talk to them and your tutor whenever you feel you need to.

The laboratory sessions are very well prepared and you

even get chance to design your experiment later on in the course!

Page 14: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Clinical Sciences

• Foundation Year in Clinical Sciences/Medicine

• First Year ‘mirrors’ syllabus at Leeds’ School of Medicine MBChB programme

• Offers routes to the University of Leeds' School of Medicine MBChB programme or to qualifications in allied healthcare programmes.

Page 15: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Clinical Sciences – Special Features

• We provide high-quality, multidisciplinary courses that provide the skills required by 'Tomorrow's Doctors' and other healthcare professionals.

• Professional development and special study modules will train students to develop skills to direct their own learning throughout the course and in their future careers.

• There will be opportunities for short periods of experiential training in a variety of healthcare settings.

Page 16: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Healthcare Science

Triple accreditation from Institute of Biomedical Science, Health Professions Council and Medical Education England.

• Genetics

• Blood Sciences

• Infection Sciences

• Cellular Sciences

Page 17: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Healthcare Science – Special Features• Placements, in specialist NHS labs – part of the curriculum in

each year of course

• Broad range of subjects, with in-depth specialisation in particular areas

• Graduates will be able to consider wide range of careers, as well as NHS.

Page 18: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Student Profile – Oliver Jowett

I spent a few weeks at the Sheffield Diagnostic Genetics Service,

at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

The depth of what you're expected to know in a work scenario is

something that I could not have picked up whilst studying at

university. It advanced my practical skills beyond that of my peers.

My employers were supportive and constructive as they provided

training and experience that is hard to come by.

Page 19: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Optometry

• Healthcare profession concerned with examination, diagnosis and treatment of the human vision system.

• Our three-year course is based on both fundamental academic studies and detailed clinical and practical classes.

• Modern purpose built Eye Clinic

• Pre-registration period on graduation

Page 20: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Optometry – Special Features

• The course is scientifically based, with a particular emphasis on the clinical practice of optometry.

• The department has one of the highest percentages of registered optometrists as members of academic staff across all UK universities - research and teaching experience.

• Students see patients in the University's own clinics, and also attend local hospitals where students are instructed in the recognition of eye disease by senior ophthalmologists.

Page 21: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Student Profile – Aimee Rutherford

Bradford has a very good reputation for Optometry. I had a look at

other Universities, and Bradford was my favourite.

There is the Eye Clinic, where many of our practical sessions are

held with volunteer patients. There are also practice rooms

which contain all of the necessary equipment needed.

In the Eye Clinic we are taught how to use up to date equipment

on patients and different techniques that can be carried out.

Page 22: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Pharmacy

• Science-based health profession concerned with medicines and their use in the treatment and prevention of disease.

• Aim to produce experts in medicines and includes extensive teaching in the areas of Drug Design, Drug Delivery, Drug Action and Drug Management.

• Enthusiastic, caring and approachable staff who are committed to ensuring that graduates are fully prepared for the many roles that pharmacists undertake.

• Registration as a 'pharmacist' is conditional upon successful completion of an MPharm degree in pharmacy, one year of professional experience in an approved pharmaceutical establishment, and passing a national examination conducted by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Page 23: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Pharmacy – Special Features

• Two course pathways: five-year integrated practice course, or traditional four-year continuous course .

• Both courses enable students to achieve registration as a pharmacist within five years

• Opportunity to experience two areas of practice on five-year course.

• Pharmacy helps find students placements, and makes sure they offer comprehensive training in pharmaceutical practice.

• Sponsorship is not required, and students are paid a salary during their training.

Page 24: Dr Nazira Karodia Associate Dean, Student Recruitment

Student Profile – Dane Howard

Having spent 5 years at Bradford as an MPharm sandwich student

I had the opportunity to see how pharmacy works in both the

Hospital and Community sectors.

The advantage allowed me to use the knowledge I gained while

out in practice to improve my grades and get the most of the

remaining time left as a student before entering the big wide world

of Pharmacy!
