Contribute to our understanding of the human body and our ability to control it during health and disease. Learn about everything from genes to whole-body systems, before putting your knowledge and skills into practice in the lab.
Our three-year BSc Biomedical Science course is about the human body and our ability to control it during health and disease, from genes to whole-body systems.
You'll study human physiology, pharmacology and molecular and cell biology before applying this knowledge to important issues in clinical medicine. You'll discover the basis of genetic diseases, the physiology of ageing and take on challenges like how to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
At Sheffield, you’ll be encouraged to be creative, think independently and express your ideas. You'll be in the lab completing in-depth practicals and studying human anatomy alongside our medics in our newly refurbished anatomy lab. You could be spending time interacting directly with patients, or developing IT solutions to handle clinical data. You'll even have opportunities to work with scientists from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to diagnose cancer samples.
As you progress through your degree, you’ll have the chance to delve deeper into key areas such as stem cells and cancer, neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology, and developmental and cell biology.
No matter what areas of biomedical science you choose to study at Sheffield, you'll develop practical laboratory and transferable skills - such as project management, problem-solving, communication skills and data analysis - that make our graduates attractive to employers.
All this experience will prepare you for your third-year research project where you could be laboratory-based, focus on computer modelling, science education, or even science communication.
