BSC. (HONS) BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES
Biomedical Sciences is a key subject area encompassing all areas of biology related to human health and disease. This highly topical, dynamic area is continually advancing, contributing important benefits not only to the health of individuals and the nation, but also to the economic activity of the global. The subject area includes those science programs whose primary focus is the biology of human health and disease and ranges from generic programs in biomedical sciences and human biology to more specialized or vocational programs in areas such as biomedical science, pharmacology, human physiology and human nutrition.
