Course description
The primary goal of Biomedical Science is to enhance understanding of human body function in health and disease. In the first two years of your degree you will gain a broad knowledge of subjects related to medical science and in scientific research methods. In addition, you will enhance your critical analysis abilities while developing your interpersonal skills through team-working and oral/written communications.
Advanced knowledge of Pharmacology will be acquired in the third and fourth years of the programme. The University of Aberdeen has a distinguished history both in teaching pharmacology and of pharmacological innovation.
