Biomedical science is one of the most contemporary areas of medicine - think IVF, a cure for cancer and new life-saving vaccines. This rapidly-growing industry requires people with the skills to commercialise biomedical research, or apply commercial knowledge and understanding in research environments. Within this double degree course you have the opportunity to develop the technical and research skills required in the biomedical fields, while also developing a strong understanding of the realities of research as a commercial endeavour. You can combine your majors to explore areas of interest or develop new ones: • Study human genetics and actuarial studies to look at the implications of genetic disease for health providers or insurance companies. • Combine immunology with economics to gain an understanding of how disease impacts political, legal, social and cultural activities around the world. • Use your marketing skills to promote medical research or health campaigns. • Work in a business development role in international biomedical companies to create new opportunities for research.
