4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical Sciences is about understanding human health and human disease. People study these areas so that, ultimately, they can develop new therapeutic strategies and refine government policy to prolong life and improve the quality of people’s lives.

Biomedical Sciences at York will open up a student's potential to become a future leading researcher, policymaker or administrator in biomedical sciences. Students will learn how to critically assess information to gain a balanced understanding, how to develop and test scientific hypothesis and how to present their findings clearly and concisely to experts and non-experts alike. This degree will provide students with the skills required to tackle current and future challenges to human health. 

The course is delivered by four University departments with outstanding biomedical research activity: The Department of Biology, The Department of Health Sciences, The Department of Psychology, and the Hull York Medical School. The combined teaching across these departments ensures students have the latest understanding of the most important topics in human biology and disease, infection and immunity, epidemiology, and neuroscience.
