Biomedical Science BSc (Hons)

Biomedical Science covers a wide range of topics including immunology, microbiology, haematology and genetics; and more specifically, cancer screening, blood transfusion, control of infections, and cardiovascular diseases.

If you enjoy investigating things in a laboratory and monitoring diseases, this could be the ideal course to kickstart your future career. Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) is an accredited course offered by London’s only University to be ranked Gold in all three categories of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).

At the completion of your BSc degree, you may continue your journey with a postgraduate course in Haematology, Microbiology or Cancer Biology at Kingston University. The University also offers teacher training courses if you want to follow that path.

You'll be introduced to principles of biomedical sciences, molecular and cell biology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, and relevant laboratory techniques. You'll also independently research a subject that interests you. This might include a laboratory-based project, computer-based projects such as bioinformatics, analysis of survey information or a review of scientific literature.

We have updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate. The Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) course is aligned with the latest QQA 2023 benchmarks for IBMS-accredited degrees.
