About

Our accredited Biomedical Science Degree BSc(Hons) explores human health and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Students learn with professional biomedical scientists and leading researchers and develop the knowledge and confidence required to begin a rewarding career.

Brighton researchers are working on the development of novel biomedical products and pioneering new approaches to regenerative medicine, and the treatment of cancer, asthma, diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Youll put your learning into practice through project work, hospital visits and case studies. Visits from clinical and biomedical scientists and placement opportunities help prepare you for work and give you a feel for what its really like to be a biomedical scientist.

Our Biomedical Science MSci course offers an extra year of study at masters level.

This course offers a guaranteed interview scheme with the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) for students wishing to pursue a degree in medicine. See the careers section for more information about entry and eligibility criteria.

Our course provides a strong foundation in clinically related subjects such as the blood sciences, cell pathology microbiology, human physiology and pharmacology.

These subjects are supported by studies in fundamental scientific disciplines such as cell and molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry. This combination of subjects provides an ideal grounding for a career as a professional biomedical scientist, entering biomedical research or graduate entry to medicine.

Assessment takes place through essays, lab reports, written exams and poster presentations, while a variety of practical classes develop your technical and research skills.
