Biomedical Science

Biomedical Science is a multi-and inter-disciplinary subject exploring the human body and the disorders that can affect it. This dynamic area of study examines the intricate workings of the human body, delving into various scientific fields such as the mechanisms of human physiology, the world of microorganisms, the body's immune responses, the complexities of molecular interactions, and the underlying processes of disease development.

At the start of your degree you will look at normal physiological function including whole systems and organs right down to a cellular, molecular and genetic level. You will then explore the comprehensive range of diseases and disorders that can affect our body including infective entities such as bacteria and viruses.

By studying the critical distinctions between healthy and diseased bodily functions, you'll develop the knowledge to drive meaningful scientific advancements. These insights can translate into tangible improvements in healthcare, such as creating more precise diagnostic tools, designing sophisticated monitoring technologies, innovating targeted treatment approaches, and exploring novel therapeutic strategies that have the potential to transform medical practice.

The programme will also provide deep insights into the pivotal role of Biomedical Scientists within clinical and diagnostic laboratory settings. You'll examine how these professionals contribute to diverse patient care pathways, while developing a comprehensive understanding of the critical importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and reflective practice.
