| | What is Biomedical Science? |
 | | Typically, the professional biomedical student works in a hospital laboratory, and may be called on to analyse metabolic disorders, perform HIV testing, blood typing or genetic tests, diagnose tumours or identify an infectious micro-organism. |
 | | Most UK biomedical scientists work in hospital laboratories to support the work of clinicians and general practitioners, but some are employed in public health (water, foodstuffs), veterinary laboratories (disease monitoring), blood banks, forensics, pharmaceuticals development and, of course, basic medical research. |
 | | Studying biomedical science in the UK offers international students the opportunity to increase their scientific knowledge, and learn how to put it into practical use within medicine or related professions. |
