If you're thinking about a career in industrial or academic research, this course involves a major research project of your choice in your fourth year.**\n\nOur four-year MBiomedSci Biomedical Science course is perfect if you're thinking about a research career. It’s all about the human body and our ability to control it during health and disease. You’ll then complete a major research project in your fourth year (known as an integrated masters).\n\nYou'll study human physiology, pharmacology and molecular and cell biology before applying this knowledge to important issues in clinical medicine. You'll discover the basis of genetic diseases, the physiology of ageing, and take on challenges like how to tackle antimicrobial resistance.\n\nAt Sheffield, you’ll be encouraged to be creative, think independently and express your ideas. You'll be in the lab completing in-depth practicals and studying human anatomy alongside our medics in our newly refurbished Medical Teaching Unit. You could be spending time interacting directly with patients, or developing IT solutions to handle clinical data. You'll even have opportunities to work with scientists from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to diagnose cancer samples.\n\nAs you progress through your degree, you'll have the option to specialise in key areas such as stem cells and cancer, neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology, and developmental and cell biology.\n\nNo matter what areas of biomedical science you choose to study at Sheffield, you'll develop practical laboratory and transferable skills - such as project management, problem-solving, communication skills and data analysis - that make our graduates attractive to employers.\n\nAll this experience will prepare you for your third-year research project where you could be laboratory-based, focus on computer modelling, science education, or even science communication.\n\nYour fourth year is designed to equip you with advanced laboratory skills, ready for a rewarding career in science. You'll spend the bulk of this year focused on a major research project in an area of biomedical science of your choice, and graduate with a masters degree.\n\n**This course has advanced accreditation by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), which shows employers that you've developed the practical skills and scientific knowledge that they're looking for.**\n\n**Why study this course?**\n- Top 10 in the UK for biomedical sciences: Complete University Guide 2026\n\n\n- Human anatomy teaching: We train our biomedical science students the same way we train our medics in our newly refurbished Medical Teaching Unit.\n\n\n- Four-year course: Graduate with a masters degree and spend your fourth year focused on a major research project of your choice.\n",
