Duration:

Modern medicine depends on the advances made by scientists working in the Biomedical Sciences. Biomedical Sciences combines subjects such as anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacology and physiology. This multidisciplinary approach helps us understand disease processes and find new treatments for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and TB.

Bio-Medical Studies opens opportunities in the fields of:
•    Biochemistry
•    Biotechnology
•    Medical Microbiology
•    Pharmacology 
•    Physiologists
A degree in this subject prepares students for careers in teaching, research and development, and professional careers related to the life sciences.
