Overview
Biomedical Sciences is about understanding human health and human disease. We study these areas so that, ultimately, we can develop new therapeutic strategies and refine government policy to prolong life and improve the quality of people’s lives.
Biomedical Sciences at York will open up your potential to become a future leading researcher, policymaker or administrator in biomedical sciences.
In this Biomedical Sciences (Hons) programme from the University of York , you will learn how to distil and critique information in the face of ambiguity and complexity.
You will learn how to critically assess information to gain a balanced understanding, how to develop and test scientific hypothesis and how to present your findings clearly and concisely to experts and non-experts alike. This degree will provide you with the skills required to tackle current and future challenges to human health.
