Biomedical Science is a fast growing subject area which forms the foundation and integrates many other professions in the health care sector. Undertaking a degree in Biomedical Science will allow me to excel my knowledge regarding the correct performance of the human body and how this differs when disease occurs. Our everyday lives are connected to biomedical science in the sense that scientists are working diligently to diagnose and prevent diseases from occurring.

A Level Sociology has given me the ability to apply my knowledge and research to various concepts. This has helped me with my application skills which can assist me in the Biomedical Science field with diagnosis of disease, for example when matching various symptoms and results to a particular disease. I was fortunate enough to find a one week ‘healthcare science’ work experience placement at City Hospital. This helped me increase my practical knowledge and understanding of having a career working in a busy hospital
