Biomedical Science - BSc (Hons)

Swansea University

Biomedical science is one of the most dynamic and wide-ranging fields in modern science, forming a fundamental pillar of modern medical practice. It underpins everything from safely providing blood products to critically ill patients, to detecting disease outbreaks and screening for early signs of conditions such as cervical cancer. It plays a vital role in modern healthcare by supporting the diagnosis, mobing, and treatment of disease. Rapid advances in areas such as genomics, immunotherapy, and precision medicine are transforming how healthcare is delivered, increasing the demand for graduates with strong scientific knowledge and practical laboratory skills.  On this course you will build a strong foundation in the core areas of biomedical science including human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and genetics. You will also develop essential study and laboratory skills required for a career in medical science. These core subject areas will prepare you to progress into specialised clinical laboratory areas and professional development.
