The field of Biomedical Sciences involves the study of human health and disease. In particular, several analytical sciences are used in a multidisciplinary approach to investigate normal life processes and to study pathological changes that occur in human disease. It forms the foundation of modern health-care, from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning, evaluation and screening of drugs and vaccines, epidemiological investigative work, teaching and research. It represents an opportunity to put scientific knowledge into practical use and play a key role within the health-care sector that offers career satisfaction for many in the profession.
The aim of the programme is to produce Biomedical Scientists who are competent in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, management of public health promotion, and application of biomedical education and research skills to the study of human health and disease. It also equips the student with detailed knowledge of the principles of leadership and management within the context of the Biomedical Sciences.
