Biomedical Sciences Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The Biomedical Sciences degree programme focuses on understanding how the human body works, both when it is healthy and when it is affected by disease. It explores the body at different levels, from molecules and cells to organs and systems.

Biomedical scientists take the knowledge they have gained from research into how diseases develop and apply this to help discover new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent them. Their research forms the foundation for medical discoveries and advances in healthcare.

As a biomedical sciences student, you will gain hands-on experience in research and laboratory work and will build strong scientific, experimental and problem-solving skills. As a biomedical scientist, you could contribute to improving human health and the treatment of illness around the world.

Our Biomedical Sciences degree is part of our suite of Biomedical Sciences degrees. In all programmes, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of biomedical sciences in Years 1 and 2 and then choose from a suite of more specialist courses in Year 3.

The flexibility of the programmes means you can also choose to specialise in Year 4 of your degree. Specialisms you can choose from include:

* anatomy and development

* reproductive biology

* pharmacology

* neuroscience

* infectious diseases
