Biomedical Sciences BSc (Hons)

This Bachelor of Science with Honours degree in Biomedical Sciences explores how the human body functions in both health and disease, examining biological processes from a molecular level up to the level of organs and systems. Biomedical scientists play a crucial role in advancing healthcare by researching diseases, developing new diagnostic methods, and creating innovative treatments. This program will equip you with practical research and laboratory experience, fostering strong scientific, experimental, and problem-solving skills. You will contribute to the global effort to improve human health and combat illness. The program offers a common foundation in Years 1 and 2, followed by specialized study from Year 3. In Year 4, you can choose to focus on a specific area of interest such as anatomy and development, reproductive biology, pharmacology, neuroscience, or infectious diseases. The 4-year structure provides flexibility, allowing you to explore subjects outside your core degree in the initial years and potentially tailor your specialization as your interests evolve.

Curriculum
