BSc Biomedical Informatics (based in China)
About this course
BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Informatics (based in China), an integrative biomedical sciences degree focused on managing, analysing and interpreting biomedical data. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, Communication & Writing, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This four-year programme is taught in English at the International Campus in Haining, China, through a partnership between Zhejiang University and the University of Edinburgh, leading to a dual award from both institutions. The first year introduces foundational subjects through modules such as Integrative Biomedical Sciences 1, Introduction to Biomedical Informatics 1, Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology 1, and Chemistry. The second year advances through Integrated Function of Body Systems 2, Biomedical Genetics 2, Genomics and Proteomics 2, and Applied Data Science 2. The third year covers areas like Molecular Biology and Epigenetics 3, Integrative Biomedical Sciences 3, Biomedical Informatics 3, and Computational Modelling and Machine Learning 3. The final year includes the Biomedical Informatics Research Project alongside specialist optional modules such as Biomedical Image Analysis, Brain, Cognition and Artificial Intelligence, Inflammation and Inflammatory Diseases, Cancer Biology, and Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.
