Hey @mdhr_lipi!🌟
I am so glad you are considering Essex as your University! As someone who has done undergraduate and postgraduate degrees here I could not recommend it more🚀⭐️
BSc Biomedical Science at the University of Essex is an excellent degree with a focus on genetic diseases, infection and immunity, and age-associated conditions such as cancer. You would also study the areas such as the human immune system, pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria, haematology and blood transfusion, cell pathology, and mechanisms of neurological diseases. We are the top university in the country for providing NHS placements as part of applied biomedical science course which gives you a fast-track career progression within the NHS. We are also ranked 2nd in the UK for biosciences (The Mail University Guide 2025) as well as 2nd for anatomy, physiology and pathology for overall positivity score (National Student Survey 2024, English broad-discipline higher education institutions). When it comes to your placements students have recently been placed with companies including GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Proctor & Gamble (P&G), AquaTerra, AstraZeneca, Genzyme, Reckitt Benckiser, Thermo Fisher, and Isogenica. In terms of you employability, after graduation you are ready to move into a wide variety of industrial and public sector careers, from the NHS to pharmaceuticals, research, health and safety, teaching.🎓💫
And obviously the University itself is an amazing place where you not just study but also socialise and take the best out of it. The campus is located in the Wivenhoe Park, so there are many green spaces and even lakes. The campus has its own bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, cinema, and even a nightclub! Also, there are 100+ societies you could join so I am quite confident that you won't get bored here.🌳🌈
Hope this helps with your decision! If you have any more questions about the course, the university, or student life - don't hesitate to get in touch! I'd be happy to help you😊
Best regards,
