Location of University of Greenwich
There are two "routes" of the BSc Hons Bioscience programme. The routes are similar in the first year, but differ in the next two years, so that students can obtain a degree with a speciality: BSc Hons Biosciences (Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) or, BSc Hons Biosciences (Medical Physiology). Those who prefer to choose their options will obtain a BSc (Hons) Bioscience Degree.
Career options
Opportunities include: conducting medical research in academic, governmental, or commercial laboratories, including biotechnology companies and health testing laboratories; scientific writing and publishing, medical equipment sales, science teaching, and postgraduate studies leading to an MSc or PhD degree. This programme is endorsed by the Society of Biology.

Language skills
If English is not your first language, you will need to provide proof of your fluency in English before you can begin a programme. The main systems for measuring this are IELTS with a minimum score of 6.0 for degree programmes or TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 for degree programmes. Recently the TOEFL computer-based test has been abolished to make way for the introduction of the Internet-based test, gradually eliminating the traditional paper-based method. Other qualifications may be satisfactory. We can tell you what is acceptable.
