The Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (

BBiomedSc

) degree provides students with a sound foundation in the scientific principles underpinning biomedical research and thus our current understanding of health and disease. A defining feature of this degree is its interdisciplinary nature with students able to select papers from multiple contributing Departments. The

BBiomedSc

is a springboard for advanced study and a diverse range of careers including research, health services, and professional programmes.

The

BBiomedSc

is a three-year programme that starts with a first year course, the Biomedical Sciences First Year (

BSFY
