About 4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate in Science and Health - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science
Program Description
For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science
From cancer-screening to blood transfusions, from infections to genetic diseases; Biomedical Scientists research the causes and diagnosis of diseases and the effectiveness of the medicines that cure them. Students apply the concepts of biochemistry and cell biology to the study of health and disease in the human body. The multidisciplinary approach means students learn skills that are at the forefront of advances in medical research.
At Essex, their research focuses on genetic diseases, infection and immunity, and age-associated conditions such as cancer.
On the BSc Biomedical Science, students study areas including:
- The human immune system
- Pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria
- Haematology and blood transfusion
- Cell pathology
- Mechanisms of neurological diseases
Students discover the molecular basis of cellular dysfunctions, and describe modern strategies to diagnose and treat them.
