MBiomed Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical science is the science that underpins medicine and medical research; it covers a wide range of subjects including human physiology; human anatomy; disease processes and their treatment; biochemistry; genetics and microbiology. Our integrated master’s degree is aimed at aspiring researchers and those seeking a career in science. This four-year undergraduate course enables you to explore the current frontiers of knowledge in your chosen field and provides training in advanced research techniques. The curriculum is informed by the extensive range of biomedical research undertaken within the School of Biosciences and at the University Hospital of Wales, enabling you to receive training in contemporary topics such as cancer biology, stem cells, tissue engineering, gene therapy and neurodegenerative diseases. Your final year will include an extended project in an active research laboratory. This project will be novel and the results may even be complete enough to be published in a scientific journal. You will be trained and supported by researchers, helping you to develop your skills as a practical research scientist. Our Biomedical Sciences programme offers strong training for research scientists. Our graduates have gone on to a range of exciting and fulfilling careers in both scientific and non-scientific related fields, including scientific publishing, medical research, healthcare, toxicology, pathological science, journalism, medicine, teaching and veterinary science. Many also choose to further their studies by pursuing a master’s degree or PhD. You may also be interested in the following courses:
