Biomedical Science (Health, Exercise & Nutrition)

About this programme

The professionally accredited Biomedical Science (Health, Exercise & Nutrition) pathway at Cardiff Met focuses on the scientific study of all aspects of lifestyle, and the strategies that can be employed to improve health. We are in the vanguard of innovative biomedical study of major health crises such as the physical inactivity and obesity epidemics. Emphasis is placed on the role that exercise, health promotion and nutrition contribute to this end. This Biomedical Science (Health, Exercise & Nutrition) pathway includes a series of fundamental science-based modules in human physiology, nutrition, biochemistry and psychology. The pathway is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol). Common First Year Please note that the BSc Biomedical Science degree and the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science (Health, Exercise & Nutrition) pathway share a common first year. On successful completion of the first year, students can decide which degree to follow from year two onwards. This degree can be studied as a three-year full-time degree or a four-year full-time degree that includes a year of foundational study.
