Biomedical Sciences

About this course

Biomedical sciences investigates the biological processes underlying human health and disease, drawing on cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, and pathology to understand how the body functions and what goes wrong when it does not. It is the scientific foundation on which clinical medicine, diagnostics, and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries depend. Studying this subject opens access to a wide range of careers in science and healthcare, and the knowledge it develops is directly relevant to some of the most pressing challenges in public health and medicine. This programme at the Open University is delivered through distance learning and is studied part-time, making it accessible to students who are working, have caring responsibilities, or are unable to attend a campus-based institution.
