Description
Biomedicine is a branch of Medical Science that applies biological and physiological principles to the practice of medicine. Biomedicine studies many physiological processes that concern human health, such as the molecular mechanisms of cystic fibrosis, carcinogenesis and the population dynamics of the HIV virus, and it aims to understand them and develop new diagnosis, treatment and therapy approaches. The main purpose of Biomedicine is to detect a problem within the human body and treat it through medical intervention. Biomedicine degree programs typically teach subjects like Physiology, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, Anatomy, Histology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cellular Pathology, Hematology and Immunology, Biochemistry of Cell Function and more. Apart from extensive theoretical knowledge, students in Biomedicine are provided with opportunities for work placements and practical projects where they encouraged to develop professional skills such as attention to detail, problem-solving skills, leadership skills, communication skills, creative ability, teamwork skills, as well as analytical and critical thinking. Biomedicine studies open the door to a number of career paths. Graduates can work in biomedical science, biotechnology, clinical biochemistry, genomics, hematology, healthcare science, medical chemistry, forensic science and many other fields.
