Undergraduate Courses

Student in laboratory

BSc in Biomedical Sciences

IBLS provides a BSc programme in Biomedical Sciences by inter-linking the already highly successful BSc Biomedical Science courses offered by Kingston University, Royal Holloway, University of London, and St George’s, University of London. The resulting programme is one of the largest in the UK, with an intake of over 300 students and a comprehensive suite of degree pathways and advanced level study options spanning the medical research spectrum.

Graduate Courses

Biotechnology PgCert/PgDip/MSc

IBLS introduced a postgraduate course in Biotechnology in September 2009. This course is provided by Kingston University, with one module provided by Royal Holloway, University of London and St George’s, University of London. It includes work on a project that may be carried out at any of the three universities.

Using state-of-the-art molecular and genetic technology to enhance biological organisms and their products, biotechnology develops novel solutions to medical, environmental and agricultural issues. It is a rapidly developing field of research and industry, and is widely regarded as a major technology of the 21st century.

Biotechnology brings together skills from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry and computer science. These skills will provide many employment opportunities in the emerging global biotechnology industries.

This course is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in the biotechnology sector – whether in the multi-national biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry or the smaller companies exploiting new innovations in the field. It will also prepare you to pursue a research career at a university or in industry.

If you are interested in such careers and have a good first degree in a biological science or biotechnology, with a strong emphasis on genetics and molecular biology, the course is ideal.
