Through this degree you'll develop in-depth scientific knowledge about the human body in health and disease. You'll also learn about the beneficial effect of physical activity on health. For example, how exercise can treat and protect against a range of diseases, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The course is science-focused and modules include topics such as: anatomy and physiology cell biology biomechanics neurorehabilitation.

There is a growing demand for graduates with a strong foundation in science and applied research approaches to exercise. In particular, working as part of research teams. Bioscientists who have exercise knowledge, alongside skills for research and development, find employment in sectors such as: pharmaceuticals UK Institutes of Sport food and drink National Governing bodies health services Graduates with a strong background in exercise biomedicine are ideally suited to fulfilling emerging roles that overlap the fields of medicine and sport science. With a biosciences-related degree, you could also: undertake medical and health-related research in universities and research institutes work in hospitals and public health laboratories take a further degree (either an MSc or PhD qualification) before embarking on permanent employment use your degree as a foundation to apply for graduate entry into medicine Apart from laboratory work, there are many other ways to use your degree and scientific knowledge: legal work, such as advising on patenting scientific journalism or publishing Our graduates also embark on careers unrelated to the biomedical sciences, for example, in management, accountancy, and IT.
