Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science (H160)

The BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science at the University of West London is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of biological and medical sciences, enabling them to understand and analyse the basis of human disease.

The course involves studying the human body and developing the knowledge required to conduct medical research on a range of common health conditions.

Students can explore specialist areas such as genetics, microbiology and immunology, while developing the practical skills needed to become biomedical scientists and contribute to scientific breakthroughs.

These skills include technical expertise in operating high-tech equipment, communication skills for reporting patient sample results, analytical skills for reviewing data, numeracy skills for interpreting statistics, and organisational skills for managing workloads effectively.

A biomedical science degree also provides a strong foundation for graduate-entry medicine. Alternatively, students may continue professional development through specialist training and advanced qualifications, leading to roles such as consultant-level biomedical scientists, managing diagnostic services, leading teams and driving innovation in healthcare.
