Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical science is concerned with understanding how the human body functions in health and what happens when disease disrupts those processes. It applies the methods of biology, chemistry, biochemistry and physiology to the investigation of illness and injury, developing the scientific knowledge base that underpins clinical diagnosis, medical research and the development of treatments. Biomedical scientists work in NHS and private laboratories, carrying out the tests that clinicians use to diagnose and monitor conditions from anaemia and infection to cancer and diabetes, and in research settings where new diagnostic and therapeutic tools are developed. At the University of Kent, this three-year programme explores the science behind diagnosing and treating disease, with a focus on real-world application and modern research. You will develop an understanding of human physiology, cellul
