BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE PROGRAMME

A Professional Qualification That Will Support Your Scientific Career!

About The Programme

As long as new strains of diseases emerge, causing a detrimental effect on the health of our communities, biomedical science will play an important role in healthcare delivery.

Correct diagnosis of disease is imperative. Patients’ lives rely greatly on the results of clinical laboratory investigations conducted by capable biomedical scientists.

Similarly, biomedical scientists are essential in the field of biomedical research, a sector at the forefront of the Malaysian government’s push into developed nation status. It is also a field of endeavour that first world nations put a premium on.

As such, biomedical science is a profession that will continue to expand especially in Malaysia where there has been rapid growth in the healthcare system.

At IMU, the biomedical science degree programme is mapped to the international standards set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency and accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), UK.

Some of Our Alumni are doing

I did event planning and the biggest lesson learnt from organising orientation for my juniors was working and communicating with all the people coming from different programmes, background, attitude and style.
Nicole Chew
I have completed the IMU biomedical science degree, followed by IMU Master’s degree in the field of pharmaceutical science research. Instead of continuing onto the obtaining a PhD, I have decided to accept a new challenge.
Owen Teo
A 2014 graduate of the IMU Biomedical Science programme, discovered his passion for neuroscience research in his final undergraduate year, during which he performed an internship with the Neurobiology and Genetics Group (NBGG), Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Felix Suresh Kevin Thomas
Biomedical Science shows us how, in this dynamic world, modern healthcare is important and is a major issue that is needed. As the world is advancing to a brighter future, understanding of the human body, effects of drugs and diseases needs to be approached in a better way. The IMU Biomedical Science programme has a great curriculum with research-based teaching and problem-based learning. Learning from the experienced lecturers has provided us with lots of scientific knowledge and practical skills that are valuable to us currently and for the future. We were given ample opportunities to visit potential workplaces to experience work life in diagnostic laboratories, research labs and many more.
Vinoshini A/P WiswannadanStudent
Biomedical Science is about understanding the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the human body while acquiring techniques for investigations. Biomedical Science at IMU provides an environment in which independence, self-learning, student/lecturer discussions, and exploring the science world within and outside of the university are encouraged. Plus, the faculty members are always there to guide you in the direction that you want to go! Graduating from IMU has allowed me to get multiple offers to pursue my PhD studies.
Hossein JahediAlumnus
IMU Biomedical Science programme has prepared me with comprehensive medical knowledge and practical skills. I was trained with transferable management and interpersonal skills for future career and work environment. The excellent quality of IMU’s Biomedical Science programme provides students with an advantage to pursue our profession competently and internationally.
Chok Kian ChungAlumnus
After going through this journey with Biomedical Science in the past few years, what I have learnt is not merely the basic knowledge in human biology and laboratory work but it also eminently built up my interpersonal and leadership skills via the organisation of events and activities. As self-directed learning played an important role in our programme, it indirectly encourages us to be independent, improves stress endurance and enhances self-discipline since we have to manage time effectively to get our assignments done despite participating in campus activities. The career options are not only restricted to laboratory, it provides provides wide career pathways and industries which I could engage in. Hence, choosing this programme is one of the decisions that I will never regret and I cannot wait for the next chapter of my life.
