Fascinated by the human body’s response to diseases and infections? If you are looking for an analytical career in the medical profession, the Diploma in Biomedical Science might just be what you are looking for!

To understand the nature of diseases and how to tackle them, you must first comprehend how diseases develop in the human body. Through the Diploma in Biomedical Science (DBMS), you will learn the essentials of human anatomy, the molecular and physiological basis of different diseases and their corresponding treatments. You will also acquire investigative and technical skills to perform scientific research and laboratory diagnostics, preparing you for a rewarding career in the biomedical science and healthcare industry.

Gain access to state-of-the art facilities and powerful diagnostic technology for practical training through the two specialisation tracks, Biomedical Research and Medical Laboratory Technology.
