Biomedical Science with a Foundation Year

Biomedical Science with a Foundation Year
Biomedical science is the fundamental building block of medical practice. Without a deep understanding of the body, healthcare practitioners cannot diagnose and treat illnesses and diseases, such as cancer. At Kent, we equip you with the skill set you need for a successful career within the world of biomedical science or beyond.

This is an excellent conversion course for applicants who don't meet the academic requirements for direct entry but have shown academic ability in non-science subjects.

Accreditation
Our Biomedical Science degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and the Royal Society of Biology (RSB).

Our four-year Biomedical Science with a Year in Professional Practice programme has Advanced Accreditation. Students graduating from RSB-recognised courses are eligible for associate membership and are entitled to two years' membership at half price.

Your future
Graduate with an excellent grounding in scientific knowledge and extensive laboratory experience. You'll also develop key transferable skills including research, critical thinking, analytical abilities and problem solving.

Biomedical science is a rapidly evolving field for the transformation of healthcare from disease prevention to tackling new threats. Career prospects in Biomedical Science are thriving due to the regular use of molecular biology and molecular diagnostics in healthcare.
