The Cardiff Biomedical Science BSc is a research-led degree which explores the elements of the biological sciences found in medical practice research. On this course, you will study human physiology, anatomy and neuroscience. At the end of your first year, you will have the option of continuing with a broad approach or choosing to specialise in one of three specific fields: anatomy, physiology or neuroscience. As a biomedical science student at Cardiff, you will have a large degree of choice with regards to what you study as there are a wide range of optional modules on offer. These modules and research projects reflect the School's diverse research interests in the field. The Professional Training Year offers you the opportunity to spend a period of 9 – 12 months in an academic, clinical or industrial research laboratory or other approved establishment to gain first hand research experience. At Cardiff School of Biosciences you will be joining a large and vibrant community of students and academic staff. We have over 100 dedicated and enthusiastic academic staff across a wide variety of disciplines, including world-renowned researchers in their respective fields (for example, a previous Head of School, Sir Martin Evans, won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2007). The academic atmosphere provides ample opportunity for you to explore your chosen subject in depth, and to discover aspects of the biosciences that you may not have previously encountered.

The knowledge and skills that you will develop on the Biomedical Science BSc will make you employable in a broad range of careers such as research, sales, publishing and teaching. Alternatively, you may wish to further your studies with a higher degree. The course provides a good foundation for all, who might want to go on to study Medicine or any of the Healthcare Disciplines. In 2013, 96% of the School's graduates were in employment or further study within six months of graduation while others were taking time out to travel etc. Employers included: universities and hospitals in the UK and overseas, local government departments, museums and organisations such as the BBC and National Museum of Wales.
