Medical Biosciences with Management
Medical biosciences with management is a programme that combines advanced scientific training in the biomedical sciences with a strand of management education, preparing graduates for careers at the intersection of science, healthcare, and industry. Biomedical science addresses the cellular and molecular basis of human disease, encompassing genetics, pharmacology, immunology, biochemistry, and the techniques used to investigate how disease processes develop and how therapeutic interventions can be designed and evaluated. Management education addresses how organisations are led, how strategies are formed, and how scientific knowledge is translated into products, services, and policy within complex institutional contexts.
At Imperial College London, this four-year programme develops your ability to think like a scientist through a research-intensive, laboratory-focused curriculum while also building the management and organisational understanding needed to operate effectively in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. You will advance your understanding of the practice of biomedical science and its application in research, policy, and industry, engaging with contemporary scientific questions alongside the business and regulatory contexts in which scientific work is translated into practical impact. Imperial's exceptional research environment means that undergraduate students work alongside some of the world's leading scientists, and the research-intensive culture of the programme gives you a genuinely deep engagement with how knowledge at the frontier is created.
A typical entry tariff of 168 points reflects the demanding entry standard for a programme at one of the world's most prestigious science and technology universities.
Graduates work in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, clinical research organisations, healthcare management, life sciences policy, and academic research. Many pursue postgraduate study, including PhD research, master's programmes in biomedical science or management, and MBA programmes. The combination of scientific depth and management understanding makes graduates competitive for leadership roles in science-based organisations.
