ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE

“Heal the world, make it a better place.”

Passionate about helping doctors save lives? Wish to play a part in the drug development process? As the local biomedical sciences sector continues to burgeon, many institutions in Singapore are rolling out new undergraduate and graduate programmes in biomedical sciences to help learners attain the in-depth knowledge and skills they need to discover significant medical breakthroughs. With a tremendous emphasis on cancer research and treatment advances, the discovery of new medical innovations is indeed a game-changer in today’s world of medicine.

SAVE LIVES AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE


Microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae and viruses are by and large invisible to the naked eye. Microbiology – the study of microorganisms, equips learners with the ability to understand the essentials of human anatomy and uncover the secrets that they withhold. As they discover about these diverse, viable and longest-living lifeforms, learners get to assimilate the disease-causing microbes and discern the good microbes which are a boon to our society.

Rigorously trained in biology, particularly in the context of medicine, learners will be exposed to laboratory testing, clinical trials as well as the treatments and prevention of diseases. In addition, most Biomedical Science degree programmes actually build and hone learners’ knowledge in biomedical research, biochemistry, molecular cell biology, medical technology, and cardiac technology.


CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE


Career-wise, prospects are high with a Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Biomedical Science. At present, the biomedical sciences industry is growing at a record pace and it shows no signs of slowing down. Thence, an exceptional pool of well-trained scientists and technologists is highly essential. Not to mention, the Biomedical Science degree programme provides a strong foundation for learners who wish to work in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology sector.

On completion of the Biomedical Science degree programme, there will be plenty of career paths open for all graduates. Be it a biomedical scientist, forensic scientist, clinical biochemistry, healthcare scientist, microbiologist, physician associate, or research scientist, many Biomedical Science degree programmes set graduates on a promising path to secure their dream job.


WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAMME?


During the selection process, learners have to ensure that the Biomedical Science degree programme has been thoroughly assessed by professional academic experts to determine the standards of its course curriculum and teaching materials. It is also paramount for institutions to take into account the industry-relevance of their Biomedical Science degree programmes.




Given today’s health-conscious society, a Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Biomedical Science puts learners in high demand. In partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University, DIMENSIONS International College has rolled out three new Biomedical Science degree programmes, namely – Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biomedical Science, Master of Science in Biomedical Science (Cellular and Molecular Pathology), and Master of Science in Biomedical Science (Medical Biochemistry), which are available on both full-time and part-time basis.

Since January 2017, DIMENSIONS International College has constituted a Biomedical Science Advisory Board which is composed of knowledgeable industry experts across a wide spectrum of institutions. The Advisory Board members provide industry-relevant advice and assistance pertaining to the strategic approaches which are essential to build the foundation for enterprise growth.

Furthermore, learners will be invited to join the informative sharing sessions with the Advisory Board members on a quarterly basis to partake in a candid exchange of ideas over a cordial ambience meant to cultivate budding scientific minds and bridge the gap between theory-based education and the actual workforce.

To enhance learners’ academic experience, special knowledge exchange sessions will be conducted to provide them with an exciting opportunity to gain new perspectives and insights. Aside from that, candidates with relevant work experience can gain exceptional entry to the Master of Science in Biomedical Science (Cellular and Molecular Pathology) and Master of Science in Biomedical Science (Medical Biochemistry) programmes.

Besides, laboratory sessions will be conducted at a prominent research institute which houses a full-range of facilities. Not only are the Biomedical Science degree programmes professionally accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), but also learners can graduate with an honours degree whilst those with relevant qualifications can gain direct entry to the final year of study.
