Biomedical Sciences
Study biomedical sciences to gain a deep understanding of the body's functions and diseases.
You can choose to study this across the system in medical science or specialise in a specific area such as pharmacology, biochemistry or microbiology, or focus on a specific career path with our Physician Associate or Biomedical Science degrees.
By studying healthcare, you can help:
- enhance wellbeing
- understand and prevent disease
- improve diagnoses
- develop new therapies and treatments
- advance clinical practice.
You’ll conduct research and laboratory studies in our new, £60m Health and Life Sciences building. The new home of the School of Biological Sciences features:
- state-of-the-art research and teaching labs
- seminar rooms
- study and social spaces.
Learn from experts in the field
Our programmes have been developed in partnership with local NHS healthcare trusts and hospitals to ensure you will have the skills and knowledge needed for a career in healthcare. You will be taught by experienced NHS staff and academics whose research has improved outcomes and understanding in the sector.
Excellent links with industry
We have a well-established network of clinical partners hosted on campus and regionally, including the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust and local bio and pharma industries.
