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’ll study specialist areas that will teach you about the various biochemical pathways and how they may be altered during specific human diseases.
What’s happening inside our cells? What’s happening at a molecular level? The bringing together of biology and chemistry allows scientists to use chemical knowledge to understand biological problems.
