Course overview

If you are fascinated by medical science and scientific experimentation, a degree in Biomedical Science could lead you to a rewarding career where you can make new medical discoveries and breakthroughs in understanding human diseases. In this course, you’ll explore a variety of disciplines including physiology, microbiology, immunology, cell biology, biochemistry and pathology. You’ll also have the opportunity to broaden your scope by including other areas of study such as anatomy, parasitology, haematology, histology and pharmacology. In your final year, you will study the capstone unit ‘Advances in Medical Science’, which integrates the various disciplines of biomedical science while examining the philosophies, strategies and cutting-edge technologies used by scientists in modern medical research.

Biomedical Science is also excellent preparation for entry into Medicine or other health-related postgraduate degrees.
