About this course
**Overview**
Study Biomedicine, and you’ll get to apply your passion for human biology to tackling grand challenges such as stem cell biology, ageing, cancer, arthritis and cardiovascular disease – placing you at the forefront of the battle to improve human health.
Our BSc Biomedicine with a Year Abroad degree will teach you how to apply cellular and molecular techniques to the understanding and treatment of human diseases. You’ll explore areas such as human physiology, antibiotic resistance, pathogens and genetics. And you’ll discover a host of additional topics including ophthalmology, metabolic disorders and gastroenterology.
Our multidisciplinary approach takes from both biology and chemistry, combining the elements that are relevant to modern medicine. You’ll train in a wide range of modern biochemical, molecular and imaging techniques as well as the practice of testing ideas by experiment. And you’ll be able to take advantage of our teaching laboratories, which offer state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
Here at UEA, you’ll be taught by world-class academics, hospital consultants and practicing biomedical scientists. You’ll have access to some of the best facilities in the country, including our new £34 million undergraduate STEM teaching laboratories, the Biomedical Research Centre, the Bob Champion Research and Education Building, and the Norwich Medical School, which is based on campus. These facilities house a unique human tissue bio-bank facility to store DNA and tissue samples and host cutting-edge research into cancer, antibiotic resistance, and musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal disease.
This four-year degree has the additional benefit of a year spent studying overseas, giving you the chance to experience a different way of life whilst studying at a biology department that may focus on different aspects of biomedicine, broadening your knowledge. Towards the end of your degree, you’ll be able to choose your own area of specialisation and graduate ready to pursue a rewarding career in the field.
**Disclaimer**
Course details are subject to change. You should always confirm the details on the provider's website: **www.uea.ac.uk**
Modules
In Years 1 and 2, you will be introduced to many aspects of biomedicine with a number of compulsory modules, such as Fundamentals of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Skills for Biologists and Human Physiology. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to take a number of optional modules such as Cancer Biology, Microbial Biotechnology and Science Communication.
