To prepare students for our Biomedical Science degree, our Foundation Year provides the basic, but essential understanding of biological and chemical principles that underpin the field. It is an ideal course if you have an interest in Biomedical Science or a desire to enter a related career but do not currently have the necessary scientific background to enter our 3 year programme.

The Foundation Year is also designed to prepare students for our other undergraduate degree programmes, B100 Medical Sciences, and B103 Medical Biology and there is the possibility to transfer onto one of these programmes, subject to successfully passing the Foundation Year.

The Biomedical Science programme will provide a multi-disciplinary perspective of the current and developing field of pathology, medical genetics and disease management. This programme will provide students with a broad basis of scientific knowledge regarding human health and disease, of importance in modern day diagnostics.

Internships

Bangor University runs a paid internship scheme within the university’s academic and service departments.

Career

Biomedical scientists are in demand by a wide range of employers in areas such as the health service, pharmaceutical industry, medical research, food science, public health and forensic science and the degree is also accepted by many universities for postgraduate courses in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science.
