BSc Biomedical Science

Comments about BSc Biomedical Science - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  Biology in the 21st century presents many challenges and opportunities for academic research, employment, and the creation of wealth. Breakthroughs in biomedical science are rapid and frequent and our course content is regularly reviewed to keep up-to-date. The first and second years of our courses share a common structure, providing a thorough grounding in the molecular and cellular basis of life, and also including supervised human dissection undertaken by the student. At level three you'll specialise in areas particular to your chosen course.
