Biomedical Sciences with a Modern Language (Hons)

Overview

You will learn how to apply biology-based science for medical use through research, health monitoring or treatment. You will benefit from the course's strong focus on practical experience, which provides a sound basis for a career at the forefront of medical research, as well as other roles both within and outside the lab.

We offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement.

Career opportunities

Graduates from modern language courses are extremely desirable to employers who require significant relevant work experience.

In the growing field of international bioscience research collaborations, graduates with a good command of a foreign language are at a distinct advantage.

Graduates on the Biomedical Sciences with a Modern Language (Hons) course offered at The University of Manchester go into a range of careers. Many of our graduates secure jobs as researchers working in universities, pharmaceutical and bioscience companies and institutes.

Some of our graduates progress into laboratory-based careers in clinical or technical roles that do not involve research.

The transferable skills you will develop will also leave you well-equipped for a wide range of careers outside the lab.

Accreditation

This course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
