BSc (Honours) Biomedical Sciences
About
About
The BSc (Honours) Biomedical Sciences 2+1 programme offered explores the human body’s function in health and disease. It equips you with specialist knowledge about how diseases occur, and how researchers and clinicians develop new treatments.
It covers a diverse range of subjects relating to medicine, including the study of key areas such as biochemistry, genetics, physiology, microbiology, immunology and pharmacology.
The programme encompasses two academic years at NUMed, which mirrors what is being studied at Newcastle University, UK, and the final academic year in the UK, with research-led teaching and an intensive research project in one of the highly regarded research institutes at the Newcastle University Medical School.
