Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences

A pass mark in your High School Certificate
A good standard of English (IELTS 5.0 or a recognized equivalent).

This programme is designed to provide students with a detailed study of human health and disease, focusing on the pathogenesis (mechanism) of disease, diagnostic pathway and therapeutic intervention. It provides preparation for careers in medical diagnostic and research environments. The first year of this programme is intended to be a foundation for the more advanced studies in subsequent years. Approximately one quarter of the programme is taken up with practical-based courses that build students skills in this area. The second and final years take skills and theoretical development to more advanced levels. In the final year, students also carry out an independent research project that comprises one quarter of final-year study. Also all students have their practicum in recognized hospitals. The students get their BSc from University of Greenwich.
