BSc Medical Bioscience Singapore

The BSc Medical Bioscience Singapore at Aston University offers an accelerated pathway for students with prior biomedical or life science qualifications. Delivered in Singapore in collaboration with the East Asia Institute of Management (EAIM), the programme provides a comprehensive understanding of human health, disease mechanisms, and biomedical science applications. Students complete the degree in 24 months through a structured schedule of intensive teaching blocks, combining theoretical learning with practical laboratory experience, preparing graduates for careers in biomedical research, healthcare, and biotechnology.

Experiential Learning Highlights:

• Intensive Laboratory Training: Blocked practical sessions during June and January provide hands-on experience in molecular biology, cell culture, microbiology, and clinical laboratory techniques.
• Independent Research Project: Students have the opportunity to design experiments, analyse data, and present findings, developing practical and analytical research skills.
• Applied Biomedical Modules: Modules focus on real-world applications of biomedical science in healthcare and diagnostics.
• Digital Tools and Software: Training includes bioinformatics, statistical analysis, and laboratory data management systems relevant to professional practice.
• Collaborative Learning: Group projects and teamwork-based lab work foster communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
• Access to Facilities: Students benefit from EAIM’s teaching labs, Aston University-developed curriculum materials, and library resources to support learning.
• Professional Skills Development: Modules emphasize scientific communication, report writing, and employability, equipping graduates for careers in biomedical science or further study.

Why This Programme Stands Out:
This accelerated programme combines high-quality theoretical teaching with intensive practical laboratory experience, research opportunities, and professional skills development, producing graduates who are ready to pursue biomedical science careers, healthcare roles, or further postgraduate study.

Graduates develop knowledge in cell and molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and medical diagnostics, preparing for careers in clinical laboratories, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and healthcare science. Common roles include Biomedical Scientist, Laboratory Technician, Clinical Research Associate, and Healthcare Scientist.
