Biomedical Science (BMS) is an interdisciplinary area of study, that combines aspects of Biology and MediciSne. The training in BMS equips an individual with skills, attitudes and knowledge to find answers to critical issues in healthcare and disease. The main focus of BMS is the etiology (cause) of diseases that impact human life, effective disease diagnostics, and necessary treatment.
The SLIIT BSc (Honors) in Biomedical Science degree programme is based on theory and lab classes on the human body; for example, structure of the body and how it develops (Anatomy), How organs and cells work together to keep us healthy (physiology), the structure and function of biological molecules (Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology), how. microorganisms cause disease ( microbiology), how the body defends us (Immunology), how we use drugs to treat disease (Pharmacology) etc..
The study programme combines theory sessions facilitated by excellent and experienced educators, experiential learning in laboratories, seminars, workshops, world of work experience through internships, development of research skills, soft skills development through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities etc.
