生物医学科学学士学位（荣誉学位）

从癌症筛查到输血，从感染到遗传疾病，生物医学科学家研究疾病的原因和诊断以及治疗疾病的药物的有效性。您将生物化学和细胞生物学的概念应用到人体健康和疾病的研究中。我们的多学科方法意味着您将学习在医学研究前沿处于领先地位的技能。在埃塞克斯，我们的研究重点是遗传疾病，感染和免疫力以及与年龄相关的疾病，例如痴呆，癌症和心脏病。
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. You apply the concepts of biochemistry and cell biology to the study of health and disease in the human body. Our multidisciplinary approach means you learn skills that are at the forefront of advances in medical research.We are the top university in the country for providing NHS placements as part of our applied biomedical science course. You will gain fast-track career progression within the NHS by studying with us. At Essex, our research focuses on genetic diseases, infection and immunity, and age-associated conditions such as cancer.On our BSc Biomedical Science, you study areas including:The human immune systemPathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteriaHaematology and blood transfusionCell pathologyMechanisms of neurological diseasesYou discover the molecular basis of cellular dysfunctions, and describe modern strategies to diagnose and treat them.Study abroadYour education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.Placement yearYou can spend your third year on a placement year with another external organisation.
