Biomedical Sciences is an expanding and forward-looking division at Brunel where we promote a commitment and passion for science. Our enthusiastic academics are research-active in cancer genetics, diagnosis and treatment, infection and immunity as well as human health and ageing.

If you join one of our Biomedical Sciences courses, you can be sure you’ll receive the highest standard of teaching. Our teaching team received the Higher Education Academy’s Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence 2016, which recognises outstanding teamwork in teaching. You’ll benefit from our newly refurbished teaching and research laboratories. As part of your final year project you’ll carry out hands-on research, supervised by an expert academic. Our aim is to support your development as a confident individual able to critically analyse, interpret and communicate science. The first year modules are common to all pathways.
