Become a Biomedical researcher of the future If you are fascinated by human biology and want to learn about health and disease the BSc in Biomedical Science is the course for you. You will be immersed in the latest research from the beginning of the course and learn key skills such as laboratory techniques, critical thinking, communication and team working. This will set you up for a career in Biomedical research, able to make discoveries with potential to improve human health. Study Abroad Students can apply to spend a semester of year 3 studying abroad. This is competitive as places are limited. There are opportunities in Hong Kong, the USA (University of California, John Carroll University in Ohio, University of Connecticut, University of Notre Dame in Indiana) and Europe (Uppsala University and University of Malta). Studying abroad offers a wonderful and challenging experience for Biomedical Science students. Experiencing teaching and learning in a different environment promotes student confidence and growth as they discover other cultures. In a world that is becoming increasing internationalised this opportunity will set student up for success in their future careers. Studying abroad substitutes for learning in Galway and contributes to your degree.
