Programme Introduction

With academic content developed by Aston University, one of the top universities in UK, and offered through East Asia Institute of Management (EAIM), the 24 months Medical Bioscience course is the ideal academic progression pathway for biomedical and life science related Diploma holders in Singapore.

The BSc ( Hons) Medical Bioscience will equip you with the training, professional skills and technical knowledge required for a rewarding career in biomedical science or research in the allied health profession. It will give you the abilities needed to provide healthcare, undertake medical research and understand the pharmaceutical industry. You’ll develop a thorough knowledge of the core principles of how the human body works, and a deep understanding of the vital role biomedical scientists play in the healthcare sector.

Entry will be start of stage 2 and will be via recognised prior learning of an approved programme of study at Diploma level.

This qualification offers you the flexibility to begin your studies in October, January, April and July each year and, on successful completion, you will graduate with an honours degree awarded by Aston University.

Academic content is provided by Aston University academics, and you will also be supported by tutors at EAIM. The course director on behalf of Aston University is Dr Stephane Gross, Lecturer in Cellular Biology.

Modules

Stage 2 ( Block 1- Block 4 )

1. Mechanisms of Pathology

This module aims to equip learners with the knowledge on the molecular and cellular principles underlying pathology. Students will apply fundamental knowledge to describe, at the cellular and molecular level, how the immune system responds to infection or damage can have beneficial or detrimental outcomes. Learners will be exposed to molecular mechanisms of pathology including cell death, inflammation, cell proliferation, genetic diseases and proteinopathies.

Final Stage ( Block 5 - Block 8)

5. Cancer Biology

This module aims to provide in depth understanding of Cancer biology including its nomenclature, causes, metastasis and the basis for conventional and novel therapies and development of resistance.  It equips learners to understand various cancer treatments and cell resistance.
