About Biomedical Sciences With Foundation Bsc Honours in University of Westminster, London
Biomedical science is concerned with the detailed study of the human body, both in health and disease, with emphasis on the diagnosis and understanding of disease states and the mechanisms involved.
In Year 1 you will study the important fundamental sciences, including biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and human anatomy and physiology. You will build on this in Year 2 to develop your understanding of a wide range of disease processes, combined with the principles of laboratory procedures used to aid diagnosis and treatment. In Year 3 you will focus on the study of the complex nature of disease as it affects particular biological systems and the laboratory procedures used in haematology, clinical immunology, cellular and molecular pathology, clinical biochemistry and medical microbiology, to diagnose and monitor disease. You will also undertake a major research project, which will enable you to develop the skills you need for genuine scientific inquiry.
Teaching includes tutorials, lectures and seminars, practical laboratory work and group activities. Assessment is through a combination of examinations and coursework (including essays, practical work, group work, presentations and reports).
