  Course description
  Biomedical Sciences is a flexible degree programme offering a broad, up-to-date training in the basic biosciences that underlie modern medicine. The degree is taught in the Faculty of Life Sciences which was rated 'excellent' for teaching in a recent subject review and also attained the highest 5* ratings for research excellence. 
  
  Career opportunities
  Bioscience graduates from the University of Manchester go into a variety of careers. About half stay in the life sciences and related disciplines, choosing either to study further research or taught courses such as a Masters or PhD, which could lead onto a career in bioscience, or medicine/dentistry degrees. A significant number go on to complete a science teaching qualification, such as a secondary science PGCE.
  
  Those that choose a career outside of the life sciences are highly sought after by large multinationals. Graduate programmes in accountancy, finance, law, marketing and publishing are particularly popular choices for graduates from the Faculty who do not wish to stay in science.
  
  What our students say
  The best thing about studying Biomedical Sciences is the close links with the medical school, and the excellent research facilities and funding. (Ruth Williams, BSc Biomedical Sciences)
