During your first year the course will provide you with a broad coverage in biomedical sciences. You will be introduced to key systems and pathways in the human body and relate these to diseases. Your second year will expand on the knowledge established in your first year with a focus on scientific research techniques, including modules providing knowledge of drug usage and their mechanisms of action.
Our Foundation courses give you another way to study for an undergraduate degree.

Our biomedical sciences degree is purposely designed to maximise your career options, leading to a wide range of eventual specialisations. It will equip you with skills that enable you to undertake hands-on science careers in medical research and research and development in the laboratories of institutions such as universities, public health services and the pharmaceutical industry. There are also a number of hands-off science career paths, such as scientific journalism, medical information officer and patent advisor. You will also develop abilities across a range of sought after skills and competencies applicable in the non-scientific fields. Highly-transferable skills such as analytical thinking and critical reasoning will allow you to thrive in a wide range of work sectors from IT and finance to retail management.
