Course overview

We offer an innovative and exciting course leading to a degree in biomedical science. It is a three-year course covering the whole range of biological sciences that underpin medicine. Relatively few institutions offer such courses in medical environments, so sharing a building with St George’s Healthcare Trust makes us unique. The teaching programme provides a course structure that is integrated into the existing infrastructure of St George’s. The degree emphasises the wide range of modern developments in medicine and the biomedical field more generally. It comprises a mixture of academic and practical training aimed at equipping its graduates for diverse careers.

St George’s is at the forefront of interdisciplinary approaches to education for a huge selection of health professions, research, and clinical laboratory careers. The course will provide you with an excellent opportunity to obtain a first degree in the sciences related to medicine. You may then choose to progress into a career in medicine, enter into a research career, or specialise in areas such as forensic medicine, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical trials coordination or biomedical product marketing.
