About: The Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences offers a comprehensive understanding of human biology, disease mechanisms, and biomedical research methodologies. Students engage in various subjects, preparing them to explore the complex interactions within the human body and the impact of diseases. This program emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through laboratory work and research projects.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in healthcare, laboratory research, medical sales, and public health. Potential roles include biomedical scientist, research scientist, and clinical trial coordinator. Advanced study options in medicine or public health are also available for those interested.
Introduction
Study cycle that differentiates national and international offerings, within the scope of biomedical sciences, with a strong pre-clinical component, both in the field of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, which allows students to access fundamental knowledge of the pillars of health.
Strengths of the course and differentiating elements:
- Modular and integrated teaching, allowing for a sequence and greater integration of the knowledge acquired throughout the year;
- Strong theoretical preparation in fundamental scientific subjects;
- Strong investment in a practical component in modern laboratories equipped with automated, high-tech instruments;
- A strong pre-clinical component aimed at the areas of veterinary (Veterinary branch) and human health (Medicine branch), using technological tools that stimulate critical thinking on the part of the student;
- High investment in tutorial classes, allowing for more personalised attention to the student and interactive learning.
- Teaching content in English, increasing the potential for internationalisation, with a view to employability and further studies abroad;
- This degree is presented as the equivalent of a first cycle, the first 3 years, of a Medicine or Veterinary Medicine degree.
- Possibility to continue studies in the Integrated Master's in Veterinary Medicine (direct access to the 4th year) at Egas Moniz, due to the curricular programme being transversal to these courses;
- Curricular programme that meets the quality required by the European quality assurance system for higher education, and which fits with similar programmes at an international level (accredited by A3ES);
- Use of modern teaching tools in line with a student-centred teaching methodology.
- Frequent hours dedicated to curricular enrichment activities, which promote a sense of empathy and integration into the community, accompanied by teachers.
