BSc (Hons) Biomedicine

Our Biomedicine degree has been designed to allow you to develop and apply your skills in the medically-related biological sciences. Our multidisciplinary approach takes from both biology and chemistry, combining the elements that are relevant to modern medicine.

Youll be taught by world-class academics, hospital consultants and practicing biomedical scientists, and youll have access to some of the best facilities in the country, including our new 34 million undergraduate STEM teaching laboratories, the Biomedical Research Centre, the Bob Champion Research and Education Building, and the Norwich Medical School, which is based on campus. These facilities house a unique bio-bank facility to store DNA and tissue samples and host cutting-edge research into cancer, antibiotic resistance, and musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal disease.

As you progress in your studies, youll have the opportunity to specialise with our module options. Popular topics currently on offer include Cancer Biology, Cell Biology and Mechanisms of Disease, Infection and Immunity, Evolution in Health and Disease, Embryo Development and Stem Cell Biology, Molecular Enzymology in Biology and Medicine, and Genomes, Genes and Genomics. And in your final year youll complete a substantial research project under the supervision of experts in biomedical research.
