Overview

Biology is a rich and dynamic field that explores everything from the structure of living organisms and their life cycles to how they adapt and interact with their environment. Biomedicine builds on this foundation, diving deeper into fascinating areas such as biochemistry, biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, and human physiology.

At Aston University ’s School of Biosciences, studying biomedicine means more than just lectures and textbooks. You'll benefit from expert teaching, cutting-edge research, and the chance to gain valuable real-world experience through an optional placement year. The Biomedicine (Hons) programme at Aston University is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, recognising the strength of our curriculum and the high standard of graduate outcomes. High-performing students in their second year may also have the opportunity to progress onto our integrated master’s programme — preparing you to become a future innovator and leader in bioscience research and development.

Career prospects

Our biosciences graduates are highly sought after by leading organisations across healthcare, research, and industry. Recent alumni have launched successful careers with employers such as Abbott Laboratories, Asterand Bioscience, NHS Trusts, The Binding Site, IVC Brunel Healthcare, National Milk Laboratories, secondary schools, and universities including Aston and Warwick.
