## Clearing - How to apply
### What is Clearing?
Each year, universities may have spaces left on their courses after the application window has closed in June.
UCAS Clearing is your opportunity to snap up one of these places, even if you didn't apply to the university prior to the June deadline.
It also gives you a second chance to go to university if you didn't get the grades you needed for your firm and insurance offers.
### How do I get in touch?
Our Clearing entry requirements may differ from those advertised. Please contact our friendly advisers to find out if you’re eligible for a place. You can get in touch through our hotlines:
- For domestic students please call us on [0800 073 5050](tel:08000735050)
- If you’re an International student calling from outside the UK, call: [+44 191 222 5000](tel:00441912225000)
**Not available in Clearing** \
\
This course is not available in Clearing 2025. \
\
This means there are no spaces available for Clearing 2025. If you can't find vacancies in your original course or subject area, try exploring other subjects in a related field. \

[## Undergraduate Open Day
Start your university journey. Find where you belong.
Friday, June 26 (9:00-16:00)
Saturday, June 27 (9:00-16:00)](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/study/meet/undergraduate-open-day/ )
## Course overview
This degree was designed with employers in mind, and develops your understanding of how the human body functions in health and disease and equips you with the practical research experience you need. You will graduate well prepared to make a difference in modern medicine.
We're a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research and our world-leading expert staff will guide you through your degree. This means you graduate with the latest knowledge in human health and disease.
You’ll explore the links between:
- anatomy
- biochemistry
- genetics
- immunology
- microbiology
- neuroscience
- pharmacology
- physiology
By gaining an understanding of research in these areas, you'll learn how we can develop either preventative approaches or new treatments for a range of common diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, autoimmunity, cancer, and diabetes.
#### BSc or MSci?
Some of our degrees are offered at two levels:
- three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc)
- four-year Master in Science (MSci)
Our MSci degrees include an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain additional research and practical experience to increase your employability and have the opportunity to work alongside our world-leading experts.

- structured guided learning. These are activities developed by staff to support engagement with module learning. Students or groups of students undertake these activities without direct staff participation or supervision
### Teaching and assessment
#### Teaching methods
You'll learn through a combination of lectures, practical laboratory classes and small group seminars.
You'll have the chance to attend optional research talks, aimed especially at first-year students, as part of our biomedicine+ programme.
Teaching methods may vary from module to module.
#### Assessment methods
You'll be assessed through a combination of:
- Assessments
- Case studies
- Coursework
- Dissertation or research project
- Essays
- Examinations – practical or online
- Group work
- Practical sessions
- Presentations
- Reports
- Seminar tasks/exercises
### Skills and experience
#### Practical skills
You'll have the opportunity to work alongside industry-recognised scientists in our research institutes while you complete research projects in your third and fourth years.
This will allow you to develop advanced research and scientific skills, while also getting an insight into a career as a researcher.
#### Professional skills

## Opportunities
### Study abroad
Experience life in another country by choosing to study abroad as part of your degree. We offer a wide range of destinations and opportunities for students, and we can help you decide which option would work for you (including free language courses before you go, and helping you apply for funding). You’ll be encouraged to embrace fun and challenging experiences, make connections with new communities and graduate as a globally aware professional, ready for your future.
You can choose to spend up to a year studying at a partner institution overseas. You can even take a summer placement in an overseas research laboratory.
[Find out more about study abroad](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/mobility/experience-world/exchanges_outgoing/)
### Work placement
Get career ready with a work placement and leave as a confident professional in your field. You can apply to spend 9 to 12 months working in any organisation in the world, and receive University support from our dedicated team to secure your dream placement. Work placements take place between stages 2 and 3.
You'll gain first-hand experience of working in the sector, putting your learning into practice and developing your professional expertise.
If you choose to take a work placement, it will extend your degree by a year, and your degree title will show you have achieved the placement year. A work placement is not available if you're spending a year studying abroad. Placements are subject to availability.
