Throughout the course you will also gain practical experience in quantitative experimental methods and data analysis techniques. UCL has always been at the forefront of this approach, setting up the earliest scientific departments of Physiology, Pharmacology and Biophysics in England. Names from our departments will become familiar to you through things you will learn about - laws, equations, theories and discoveries. Rigorous quantitative study is a common thread through current research in the departments too. This is why we want you to have a firm grounding.
Quantitative study is just as productive now as it was fifty or a hundred years ago.
