If so, a degree in Biomedical Science could be for you. Biomedical scientists have been working tirelessly since the pandemic began to develop diagnostic tests, run COVID testing laboratories, develop vaccines and support doctors in the urgent research into treatment and prevention strategies for the virus. It is a career at the cutting-edge of medical research.Biomedical Science is the in-depth study of human biology in both normal and disease states. This course provides you with detailed understanding of the causes of human disease, how these produce symptoms and the effects of disease on the structure and function of human cells, tissues, and the whole organism. You will learn both current techniques used in the study of human diseases in the NHS, and innovative technologies under development for experimental treatments.Recent investment in the Digital Health Zone allows students to access the latest techniques in digital anatomy and pathology, including carrying out digital dissection.Bradford was the first University in the UK - and one of the first in the world - to introduce an undergraduate degree course in Biomedical Science. The School of Medical Sciences here at Bradford has continued to pioneer high-quality new developments in Biomedical Science education and it is recognised both nationally and internationally for the excellence of its course and graduates. The School staff are heavily involved in research, with staff recognised for their invaluable contributions at both national and international levels. This knowledge and research experience contributes significantly to the quality of both the course and the overall student experience.
