At Brunel, we understand that your specialist knowledge should be built on a sound grounding of all the areas of biomedical sciences.
How do human beings stay healthy? What are the factors involved in disease transmission? Studying the human health biological sciences degree looks at answering these questions.
Brunel University London
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 the specialist area of human health and learn about the role of infectious organisms in disease and how human activities can lead to disease transmission.
