Our flexible Biomedical Science BSc offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate education in the biosciences that underpin our understanding of human health and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. You will benefit from high-quality teaching in the School of Bioscience Education and choose from a wide range of modules to develop a Biomedical Science degree course that reflects your scientific strengths and interests.
Studying a Biomedical Science degree with us means that you will be able to enjoy the flexibility to choose your degree after your first year with our Common Year One curriculum. All Biomedical Science disciplines are covered in the first year, making the decision for your future an informed one.
You will be able to choose from the following Biomedical science degrees; Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology BSc, Biochemistry BSc, Biomedical Science BSc, Medical Physiology BSc, Molecular Genetics BSc, Neuroscience BSc, and Pharmacology BSc.
All bioscience students complete the same ‘common year one’ programme, broadly covering all the specialities that make up Biomedical Science; you then have no compulsory modules allowing you to delve deeper into the disciplines that interest you.
The Biomedical Science BSc interdisciplinary degree is the most popular of our Bioscience courses, with an entry of over 300 students per year. It offers you great flexibility for your second and third years at university, including options to study abroad or undertake a work placement. Offering high- quality teaching throughout, the course will allow you to follow a degree programme that reflects your individual scientific strengths and interests.
This course forms part of the suite of ‘Common Year One’ courses within the School of Bioscience Education. Other programmes in the suite are Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology; Biochemistry; Medical Physiology; Molecular Genetics; Neuroscience; and Pharmacology. Once you have successfully completed year one, you can choose to switch to another programme within this suite.
In Year 2 you can apply to undertake a full year abroad or an extra-mural year, usually at a leading biomedicine employer, between your second and third years.
