About this course

BSc in Biomedical Sciences, a biomedical science degree centred on human physiology, cellular function, and the mechanisms of disease. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, and Project Management. Students can undertake an optional professional placement year or spend a year studying abroad. The first year covers foundational concepts through Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, and Cells. The second year progresses to human function and experimental methods via Physiology II, Research Skills and Data Analysis, Statistics for Biomedical Sciences, and Advanced Microbiology. Optional modules allow students to explore specific interests through Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Coding for Biomedical Scientists, and Diabetes: From Pathophysiology to Public Health.
