The BSc Hons Biomedicine program explores human biology, health, and disease, combining theoretical study with laboratory practice. Students are prepared for biomedical research, clinical laboratories, or further study in health and biomedical sciences.
Year 1
Covers cell biology, biochemistry, and human physiology, introducing how biological systems function. Laboratory training includes microscopy, experimental design, and basic molecular techniques.
Year 2
Focuses on molecular genetics, immunology, microbiology, and pharmacology. Students explore disease mechanisms and immune responses, while developing practical lab skills such as microbial culture, immunological testing, and drug analysis.
Year 3
Advanced modules include molecular medicine, neuroscience, and infectious disease biology. Students complete an independent research project, applying experimental techniques and analytical skills to a biomedical research question.
Focus Areas
Human physiology, cell biology, molecular genetics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, and molecular medicine.
Learning Outcomes
Graduates will have strong knowledge of biomedical science, laboratory expertise, research experience, and readiness for clinical or research careers.
Professional Alignment (Accreditation)
Program aligns with professional biomedical research and clinical laboratory standards.
Reputation (Employability & Graduate Outcomes)
Graduates are prepared for careers in biomedical research, clinical labs, healthcare, or further academic study.
This programme focuses on the biological and physiological principles underlying human health and disease. Students study immunology, microbiology, cell biology, and molecular genetics, preparing them for careers in healthcare and research.
Experiential Learning Highlights:
Why This Programme Stands Out:
The degree equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to enter roles in medical research, clinical laboratories, and the wider healthcare sector.
Graduates gain expertise in human biology, physiology, microbiology, and molecular medicine, preparing for careers in healthcare, clinical research, biomedical industry, and public health. Typical roles include Biomedical Scientist, Clinical Research Associate, Lab Technician, and Medical Science Liaison.
Further Academic Progression
A Level: BBC-BCC at A Level including a grade B in either Biology or Chemistry. The endorsement for practical work is an essential part of Science A Level study, and is a requirement for entry to our degree course.112-104 UCAS tariff points from a combination of Level 3 qualifications including a grade B in either Biology or Chemistry A Level.IB: 112-104 UCAS tariff points from International Baccalaureate qualifications which should include modules in a relevant Science subject. (approx. 28 points)IELTS: 6.0 with no lower than 5.5 in any element.TOEFL (Home Edition is not accepted) : 87 overall (Reading 22, Listening 21, Speaking 23, Writing 21)American HSD: For entry into Year 1 on our programmes, students must offer the following qualifications: US High School Diploma with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and one of the following: • SAT 1 with a minimum score of 1290 • 3AP tests with minimum 4,4,3 • ACT with a minimum score of 27 Please note where the course has a subject specific entry requirement you will need to provide an AP or IB test score in that subject, at a minimum 4 in AP or 5 in IB (ideally at Higher Level).
