Biomedical Science provides an integrated study of the structure and function of the entire human body. This degree programme has two unique aspects: the scientific content of pre-clinical medicine, plus the opportunity to study cellular processes from this whole-body perspective.

This degree primarily prepares graduates to follow careers in science relating to medicine. The degree can also be a basis for an application to enter graduate Medicine or Dentistry. However, the number of places available for graduate entry to Medicine and Dentistry is unpredictable and the competition extremely fierce. Thus students should read a BSc in Biomedical Sciences for its own sake and not as a possible entry route into Medicine or Dentistry. In addition, transfer after commencing a Biomedical Science degree is not a route into medicine that can be considered.
