The BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Applied Science (Biomedical) is equivalent to two A levels and is an ideal course for students who are fascinated by the human body, disease, healthcare, and the science behind modern medicine. Combining scientific theory with practical laboratory work, the course provides an excellent foundation for progression into higher education, apprenticeships or employment within biomedical and related scientific fields.
Throughout the course, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of key areas of biology, chemistry, and biomedical science. You will gain practical experience of laboratory techniques, scientific investigation, and the safe handling of equipment and materials. You will also develop skills in collecting and analysing data, interpreting scientific information, and evaluating results.
Combining scientific theory with practical laboratory work, the course provides an excellent foundation for progression into higher education, apprenticeships or employment within biomedical and related scientific fields including degree-level study in subjects such as biomedical science, biological sciences, nursing, forensic science, sports and exercise science, and other related disciplines.
