Studying our Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) course will equip you with in-depth knowledge, technical and transferable skills related to modern medicine. In your first year, you will explore the basic biochemical principles and be introduced to the study of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in Microbiology and Biochemistry and Cell Biology. You will participate in laboratory work using light microscopes to discover cell structures and understand how this is fundamental to human life. To equip you with the research and practical skills for these units, Skills in Biomedical Science will teach you to how to record, analyse and report experimental data. Furthermore, you will explore the basic concepts of Chemistry that provides the fundamental basis for all biosciences. In addition, you will investigate the structure and function of the human body in Human Anatomy and Physiology, and separately gain an insight into the basics of genetics, from chromosome function to genetic inheritance, in Molecular Genetics.
In your second year of study, you will develop a further understanding of the core concepts learnt in your first year. In both Genetics and Human Metabolism, you will learn to identify the biochemical and cellular basis of processes that support human life, while also examining functioning of the human body in health and during disease in the Medical Physiology. This relates to Immunology, where you will study the fundamentals of the immune system and its importance in human health and disease, while linking this with Medical Microbiology to investigate the role of microorganisms in human infectious diseases. On a cellular level, you will learn to identify indicators of disease through analysing cells and tissues in Cellular Pathology and Haematology & Transfusion Science, focusing on diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases.
