About this course

BSc in Biomedical Sciences, exploring human health and disease through biological and medical research. The programme spans four years and includes a Professional Training Year placement in a research or industry setting. A supervised final-year research project allows in-depth investigation of a chosen topic, and later years offer some choice of optional modules.
