BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

While developing your knowledge of core biomedical science concepts and disease mechanisms, you can choose specialized modules aligned with your interests, covering cutting-edge techniques in gene analysis, brain science, drug effects, and substance toxicity. Acquire practical experience through our Professional Training program, collaborating with partner organizations that reserve positions specifically for future biomedical science professionals. Pursue an integrated master's degree featuring an extra year of research-intensive study to equip yourself for scientific research positions in either corporate or academic settings. Earning a degree accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science qualifies you for graduate positions where you can obtain the Certificate of Competence required for HCPC registration.

Your initial year covers essential biomedical subjects like bacterial studies, molecular chemistry, cellular structures, heredity, body systems, microscopic organisms, and physiological processes, establishing a strong base for subsequent studies. The second year delves into biochemical analysis, disease mechanisms, and virus studies. Optional modules include drug interactions, examining pharmaceutical impacts on bodily systems, or microbial ecosystems, focusing on antibiotic resistance and bacterial colonies.

In the final year, you'll select two advanced modules from areas like drug mechanisms, biological clocks, immune system science, microorganism studies, or toxin effects. These complement required courses on cancer development, disease spread patterns, immune disorders, and pathogen behavior. Additionally, you'll undertake an independent research project under expert guidance, conducting experiments while analyzing data and scientific literature.
