Biomedicine BSc (Hons)

The BSc Biomedicine focuses on the vital link between basic science and advances in the understanding and treatment of human health and disease. As a student on this course, you will complete a substantial research project in the areas of molecular, cell and integrative biology, and will be provided with in-depth knowledge of the theoretical background of these topics. Students graduating from this course are well equipped for a wide range of careers within the biological sciences and associated fields allied to medicine. The BSc Biomedicine is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, a status recognised by employers and which brings additional benefits such as opportunities for paid internships.Taught by internationally recognised researchers, you will gain an academic grounding in the science that underpins modern medicine, and have the opportunity to explore biomedical research. You will develop the technical, intellectual and social skills needed for careers in research, medicine, teaching, and the wider application of scientific knowledge in the modern workplace.You can choose to specialise on this course by taking certain modules, so you can finish with the award of BSc Biomedicine and Public Health.The BSc Biomedicine covers a range of disciplines including biochemistry, cell biology, chemistry, drugs and drug discovery, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology and physiology. There is also a considerable emphasis on how these relate to public health.Whilst enabling the development of sound knowledge of the scientific principles that underpin these key subject areas, this course enables you to gain substantial practical and analytical skills through extensive laboratory experience. Both elements are highly sought after by employers in the biomedical and health sectors.
