Explore biochemical processes in the human body and help to identify and treat disease.

Course overview

Biomedical science is the fundamental building block of medical practice. Without a deep understanding of the body, healthcare practitioners cannot diagnose and treat illnesses and diseases, such as cancer. At Kent, we equip you with the skill set you need for a successful career within the world of biomedical science or beyond.

Accreditation

Our BSc Biomedical Science courses are accredited by the Institute for Biomedical Science (IBMS), meaning our graduates are eligible for Trainee Biomedical Scientist roles directly following graduation. Our courses are also accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), while our four-year Biomedical Science with a Year in Professional Practice course has Advanced Accreditation. Students graduating from RSB recognised courses are eligible for associate membership and are entitled to two years membership at half price.

Course structure

You explore the biochemical processes that occur in the human body, learn how they respond to diseases and how this knowledge can be used to identify and treat diseases.

Your future

Graduate with an excellent grounding in scientific knowledge and extensive laboratory experience. You'll also develop key transferable skills including research, critical thinking, analytical abilities and problem solving.

Biomedical science is a rapidly evolving field for the transformation of healthcare from disease prevention to tackling new threats. Career prospects in Biomedical Science are thriving due to the regular use of molecular biology and molecular diagnostics in healthcare.
