About the course
Biomedical Science is at the heart of medical breakthroughs. That’s why this subject is vital to the world.
From Year 1, you get hands-on practical experience in our labs. Later on in your course, you’ll have the opportunity to explore real human specimens in our anatomy laboratory classes.
The course is flexible, and you can tailor your degree to your interests and career aspirations. You’ll be inspired by our modules exploring topics such as cancer, infectious diseases and vaccine development, and genomics and bioinformatics.
Throughout your time at Sussex, you’ll develop your practical, analytical, problem-solving, communication and technical skills. You’ll learn via lectures, workshops, tutorials and seminars. Your teaching is underpinned by the research of our internationally renowned group of experts. They work at the forefront of biomedical research. You’ll be supported in a friendly community of scientists in the School of Life Sciences, as well as staff from Brighton & Sussex Medical School and NHS Trust.
Many Biomedical Science students aim to specialise in a branch of Medicine. This is why we offer a guaranteed interview scheme for Medicine at Brighton & Sussex Medical School, if you meet certain criteria.
When you graduate, you’ll have the data-handling and analytical skills for a wide range of science and science-related careers. Outside of Medicine, our graduates have taken on a variety of jobs in fields including:
- biomedical science
- biotechnology
- pharmaceutical research
- nutrition
- physiotherapy.
MSci or BSc?
We also offer this course as a four-year MSci.
