Occupations, industries and skills
A Biomedical Sciences degree provides extensive career opportunities by combining scientific expertise with valuable transferable skills. The degree develops critical abilities in research, problem-solving, and analytical thinking, while building commercial awareness and resilience under pressure – qualities highly valued across all professional sectors.
Industries
Biomedical Sciences integrates the study of human health, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic interventions. Graduates commonly enter pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, healthcare science, and public health organisations. The analytical and research skills gained are equally valuable in non-scientific sectors including finance, technology, business consulting, and government agencies.
Occupations
Graduates excel in diverse roles from research and development to healthcare science and regulatory affairs. The degree's emphasis on analytical thinking and problem-solving creates opportunities beyond traditional scientific paths, with many graduates pursuing successful careers in technology, finance, management, and education.
Further study
Biomedical Sciences graduates pursue further study at master’s or PhD level to increase their knowledge of one of the branches studied during their degree, such as biomedicine, physiology, medical microbiology or bioinformatics. Some graduates pursue vocational qualifications such as a PGCE to train as teachers and many pursue graduate entry into medicine and dentistry.
