Do I need a science background to take this course?

• No, you don't. As a General Education course it doesn't assume that you have any scientific background. Many students who have taken it in the past have not done any science before and have got on very well. There are no formal laboratory components either but there is a session where the class get to visit the Medical Science Learning Centre and spend time exploring anatomical and pathological specimens of various parts of the human body. Students in the past have found this fascinating!
