At Brunel, we understand that your specialist knowledge should be built on a sound grounding of all the areas of biomedical sciences. This means that your first year will cover areas such as the human body, biochemistry and research skills. As you continue through your degree you will study specialist areas that will teach you how the role of various genetic mutations alter cellular processes and biomechanical pathways in normal metabolism, and also how these pathways may be altered during specific human disease. And if you change your mind about your specialist area, dont worry. The flexibility of our course at Brunel means that you can switch to another specialist pathway in the second year or even take the general Biomedical Sciences BSc. The Royal Society of Biology has awarded its accreditation to all of Brunels undergraduate Biomedical Sciences courses.

You'll receive a one years membership as an Associate Member once you graduate, integrating you into the sector with access to key contacts and up-to-date knowledge. In your final year youll have the opportunity to contribute to our research programmes in cellular and biochemical pathways, the regulation of gene expression, DNA repair and immunological responses to microbial infection. This will give you first-hand experience of real-world laboratory research and prepare you for your future career.Careers and your futureAs a graduate in Biomedical Sciences (Genetics) youll have the skills to work in research and development in the medical field.
