What makes the Biomedical Science BSc special?
This degree provides a fascinating insight into the biological science behind health, disease and development of medical therapies. You will cover a diverse range of subjects, starting with fundamental aspects of cell and molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and genetics, progressing to the investigation of the disease process, including research, diagnosis and treatment.
Who is the course for?
Biomedical science is an incredibly exciting, fast-paced area to work in. It provides a strong foundation for a wide range of careers and/or further study in the science and healthcare-related fields and beyond.
Our graduates have gone on to work in academic and applied research, for a variety of pharmaceutical and bioscience companies and institutes, such as PRA Health Sciences, Barts and the London NHS Trust, and the University of Washington. Some are also working beyond the biomed sector for companies such as Deloitte, KPMG, Frontiers Publishing and Teach First. Others use their degree as a platform for postgraduate study, pursuing a range of MScs, PhD or graduate entry medical degree.
Who are the presenters?
