Course Overview

A rational approach to the development of treatments for current and emerging threats to human well-being depends upon a sound knowledge of human health and disease. Biomedicine is at the interface between molecular, cell, and integrative biology and evolving disease therapies, while biomedical research is pivotal in transferring advances in basic science into effective practices that promote human health and treatments for human diseases. Our BSc Biomedicine will provide you with the knowledge and skills for participation in the biomedical community, either professionally or personally. This program is accredited* by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).

Graduates can pursue career paths in scientific research, public health, or the health sector more generally. Possible professions include:

laboratory scientist

healthcare scientist
