About this course

BSc(Hons) Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year) provides opportunities to gain practical experience Accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science, BSc(Hons) Biomedical Science provides strong practical skills in the biomedical sciences field, with the option to gain a year's work experience with a leading employer in the UK or abroad. Have you ever wondered how genetic mutations occur, how the body metabolises proteins, or how white blood cells fight infections? Perhaps you've wished you could help understand how diseases develop and find ways to treat them?

To diagnose and treat diseases effectively, we need to understand the biology behind them, the science that supports this understanding, and the latest advances in medical research. BSc(Hons) Biomedical Science focusses on human health and disease and pulls together clinical science and research, both important parts of the diagnostic and treatment process.
