    Course Summary

    A BSc in Biomedical Sciences with a focus on Immunology from Brunel London University gives you both a general grounding in this exciting field as well as a specialty in immunology and related issues. You’ll learn about the way the immune system prevents disease when it is working correctly, and how a compromised immune system can allow diseases to progress. You’ll also gain a broader understanding of the biosciences, including how Biochemistry, Genetics, Anatomy, Physiology and both Cellular and Molecular Biology can affect immunity, disease and treatment.

    This degree program is fully accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, something many employers look for in Biomedical Science graduates. It provides you with a wide range of transferrable skills, which can help you achieve a career in pathology, pharmaceutical research, clinical trial management or nearly any role which requires responsibility, leadership and a knowledge of the health and biomedical sciences.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
