Biomedical Sciences

About

Our Biomedical Sciences BSc is taught jointly by Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences.

Many of our graduates progress onto medicine, dentistry or research-based careers, and the programme is designed with this in mind.

We'll give you a thorough grounding in human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, genetics and pharmacology. In final year, you can direct your study to specialist areas, including cancer biology, personalised medicine, stem cells & regenerative medicine and endocrinology.

Practical sessions in our modern labs will give you hands-on experience of using scientific instrumentation. In the final year you'll carry out a research project, supervised by our experts, developing the skills to become a researcher in your own right.

Biomedical scientists study the cells, organs and systems in the human body, and how findings can be applied to diagnose and treat disease.

Teaching and learning

We use a mixture of teaching styles - lectures, tutorials, classroom activities and laboratory work.

Outside of classes, you'll need to spend 20 to 25 hours per week preparing, writing up and reading.

Assessment

Each module is assessed by written examinations and coursework (practical reports, essays, problem sheets, online exercises and tests).

Final-year students undertake a research or investigative project, assessed with a detailed written report and oral presentation.

Resources and facilities

The School offers excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including:

newly refurbished lecture theatres
up-to-date IT facilities
modern, well-equipped labs.

Medicine or dentistry

Our Biomedical Sciences programme provides an ideal background for studying medicine or dentistry.

The 19 highest-ranked students from our Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience and Pharmacology and Innovative Therapeutics programmes are guaranteed an interview for the five-year A100 Medicine MBBS degree at Queen Mary University of London. For the top seven ranked students, there is a guaranteed interview for the five year A200 BDS dentistry programme. Students are selected at the end of the second year on the basis of an aggregate of academic ranking (50%) and UCAT score (50%) and start the programme after they have completed their final year. Of these students, the top five will also be considered for the four-year A101 MBBS Graduate Entry Programme.

Other careers

Biomedical science graduates are in demand in the pharmaceutical and diagnostics industries. Many students move into clinical and laboratory work, postgraduate research and science communication. Others transfer their skills into sectors such as marketing and finance.

93 per cent of our graduates are in work or further study within six months of graduation (HESA GOS 2017/18).
