Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical Science is the scientific study of the human body in health and disease, examining the cellular, molecular and physiological mechanisms that underlie normal function and the disruptions that cause illness. It draws on biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, immunology, haematology, pharmacology, and anatomy to build a comprehensive scientific picture of how the body works and how we can detect and understand when it does not. As a discipline, it sits at the heart of modern medicine, providing the evidence base for diagnosis, treatment, and the development of new therapies. At the University of Sheffield, this three-year full-time programme takes a broad approach to biomedical science, moving from the level of genes and molecules through to whole-body systems and their integration. You will study molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, physiology, neuroscience, immunology, an
