B.Sc. Biomedical Sciences


Course Description

Biomedical science concerns with a broad understanding of the scientific basis of biological principles that govern the functions of the human body, covering fundamental aspects of cell and molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and genetics, progressing to the investigation of the disease process, and to find innovative ways to treat or cure the disease by developing advanced diagnostic tools and therapies. This course provides students with an intellectually stimulating education in modern molecular, cellular and systems biology andneuroscience.

Scope of the Course

This is a highly dynamic and ever-changing study program offers exciting career opportunities in specialist laboratory work, consultant work, research, education and management while serving the human society. The findings of the biomedical scientists are instrumental in making the advancements of modern medicine.

Employment of biomedical engineers is projected to grow 10 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Increasing numbers of technologies and applications to medical equipment and devices, along with the medical needs of a growing aging population, will require the services of biomedical engineers.
