BSc (Hons.) Biomedical Science

The Biomedical Science Undergraduate Degree at Kent University in the UK is a field of study that combines the professional science of investigation of disease in the human body and the application of science to diagnosis, understanding, and monitoring of human health and disease conditions. This course focuses on the core disciplines of cellular biology, human anatomy, physiology, and the disease processes. Course Content: The biomedical science course consists of core and optional modules, to allow students to choose areas of interest. The course also includes a final year research project which may be laboratory or literature-based. Key Modules: Key modules in Year 1 include Cell Biology and Human Physiology, Biomolecular Chemistry, Human Anatomy, and Principles of Pharmacology. In Year 2, students study Molecular Biology and Genetics, Systems Physiology and Pathology, and Analytical and Forensic Chemistry. In Year 3, students undertake a research project and study modules including Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics, and Tissue Pathology.Accreditations: The Biomedical Science degree has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for its academic quality and influence in fields, industries and professions that prize a detailed understanding of biology. Future Careers: A degree in Biomedical Science can lead to a career in areas such as biomedical research, pharmaceuticals, blood services, forensics, public health laboratories, clinical trials coordination, and health service management. Some graduates choose to go on to postgraduate study in order to specialize in a particular area of interest within biomedical science, like genetics or immunology.
