Study biomedical sciences to gain a deep understanding of the body's functions and diseases.

You can choose to study this across the system in medical science or specialise in a specific area such as pharmacology, biochemistry or microbiology, or focus on a specific career path with our Physician Associate or Biomedical Science degrees.

  • enhance wellbeing
  • understand and prevent disease
  • improve diagnoses
  • develop new therapies and treatments
  • advance clinical practice.

You’ll conduct research and laboratory studies in our new, £60m Health and Life Sciences building. The new home of the School of Biological Sciences features:

  • state-of-the-art research and teaching labs
  • seminar rooms
  • study and social spaces.

You will be taught by experienced NHS staff and academics whose research has improved outcomes and understanding in the sector.
