Biomedical Science with Foundation

About this course

Biomedical science sits at the frontier between basic biological research and clinical medicine, examining the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie human health and disease. It draws on biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, immunology, and physiology to investigate how the body functions, how disease disrupts those functions, and how diagnostic and therapeutic interventions can detect and treat illness. Biomedical scientists are central to the modern healthcare system, particularly in laboratory medicine, where they carry out the investigations that inform clinical diagnosis and treatment across pathology, microbiology, haematology, and clinical chemistry. At the University of Reading, this programme is offered as Biomedical Science with Foundation, making it a four-year degree in total. The foundation year provides a structured introduction to the scientific co
