The study of biomedical sciences focuses on the relationships between humans, health and disease, translating biomedical applications of basic sciences to the clinical practices of health services and healthcare industry.
The Faculty offers an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences with the aim to offer strategic training in the fundamentals of state-of-the-art sciences and to nurture graduates with a broad but core knowledge of key biomedical disciplines.
In 2013, the Faculty concluded an agreement with The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, The University of Edinburgh to launch a one-year attachment programme which enables BBiomedSc students to take the Year 1 courses of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) degree of The University of Edinburgh on an elective mode, and to articulate into the BVM&S degree of The University of Edinburgh upon completion of BBiomedSc at HKU. Graduates will be conferred two degrees awarded by the two universities respectively with a total duration of seven years of studies.?
