BHE UNI - Course - BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science(Part-time)

Course Overview

Although well established as a scientific discipline, biomedical science is also a rapidly advancing subject constantly striving towards improving human health and creating a need for highly skilled biomedical scientists.

This course gives you a broad understanding of human health and scientific disease investigation. It covers the key aspects and principles of biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, and physiology and their application to the causes and management of the disease.

Your learning is supported by our research teams, who are at the forefront of biomedical research and contribute to all aspects of teaching, both lab and non-lab based.

Temporary work placements are available on this course on a competitive basis through the 'Microplacements' scheme.
