The world of science has always attracted my attention from a young age, of how the building blocks in every single living organism and non-living material are formed by tiny atoms. Throughout the years in education studying Biology and Chemistry my interest grew as I learnt more and more about the structural constituents required in order to form complex molecules. Studying A Level Biology and Chemistry has expanded my knowledge to a greater understanding of these chemical constituents to a molecular atomic level, and the human anatomy as well as immunology in how we function in order to survive, sustain and strive in life. So I believe Biomedical Science is the ideal course for me due to the applicable knowledge I have gained from A Level Biology and Chemistry. It has also intrigued me to how medicines are made to deal with the most feared diseases. However without the complex structures of our cells we wouldn’t be able to respond towards these drugs, so Biomedical Science will hopefully help me develop a greater depth of knowledge of how cells respond towards different beneficial stimuli. Numerous medicines operate by targeting cellular sites which allows treatment and cures to enable effective ways to save lives from major diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. Amoxicillin is prescribed for bacterial infections such as pneumonia which is designed to inhibit formation of cell walls in bacteria stopping their growth, eventually killing the foreign bodies and infection is able to be healed.

The key skills which I have learnt are data handling and problem solving. Data handling is essential when interpreting results with theories. Problem solving skill would also be very beneficial because it’ll allow me to understand complex problems and to develop numerous ideas towards the researching side of Biomedical
treatment of disease and for determining clinical pathways and other fields of science. Even though
I have attained various vital skills through studying my selected subjects. A-level Mathematics has helped me excel in my ability to analyse lengthy problems and solve them systematically. This is beneficial as optometrists should have the skill to understand mathematical as well as scientific information. Studying biology and chemistry at an advanced level further increased my skills as it allowed me to understand concepts at a molecular level. In addition to improving my independent working through undertaking experiments in the laboratory independently. These are
I need to be able to write out the results in a way everyone can understand exactly what I found. I am able to write out important information very clearly. I need to be able to active listen. I have to give my full attention to what people are saying and take time to understand what is being said but also ask questions at appropriate times. Listening and giving my full attention to someone talking is a skill that I have but asking questions is something I need to work on. Critical thinking is a skill that I have to have. Using logic and reasoning to know the best option to help someone is important. I do think critically by trying to find the best way to do anything. Problem solving is important. I need the ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong and try to fix it. Inductive reasoning is the ability to take pieces of information and but all of the pieces together to make a conclusion. I need to have deductive reasoning. I need to apply general rules to specific problems to come up with answers that make sense. Some of these abilities and skills I can learn as I go further into my
Your body has about 10 systems that work together to complete a human being. This is studied by a branch of biology called anatomy. Anatomy is the study of body structures of humans, animals, and other living organisms. There are different types of anatomy like human anatomy, zootomy anatomy (animal), and phytotomy anatomy (plant) (Nordqvist, Christian, “What Is Anatomy?”). Students who plan to become part of the medical field are required to take anatomy along with biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions inside the body. Doctors, pharmacists, and physicians are required to take many other biology and chemistry classes, but anatomy and biochemistry are the two major subjects studied to join the medical field. Without these courses a doctor, a pharmacist, or a physician would not know the basics of a human structure, the reactions and acids inside a human’s body. To become part of the medical field it is mandatory to study anatomy and have knowledge of each of the systems along with biochemistry.
My current area of interest is in the engineering and the biomedical field. After experiencing the rigorous AP Chemistry course, I was able to find my passion in the field of medicine. Furthermore, I had already developed an interest in engineering from my previous engineering courses and clubs, so a deeper understanding of what I wanted to do was discovered in a chemistry lab. Being involved with the Technology Student Association at our institution, I learned several different skills in a variety of technical fields. This led to my conclusion that I wanted to become a biomedical engineering. This field of engineering incorporates both the medical aspect and technical aspect of what I want to become in the future.
In addition, the Foundation course I am currently attending is a way of, not only developing my critical thinking skills, but also gaining and consolidating knowledge that I have not yet acquired from my previous studies. The fact that Biomedical Science uses laboratory skills, which I very much enjoy, with a deep study of all aspects of the human body and the organisms that influence it, made this course an obvious choice for me.
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
things work and why they work in the way they do. So I think studying Biomedical science as an
I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely passionate about the sciences. Whilst studying the sciences separately at GCSE, I developed an affinity towards biology and chemistry, and so chose to continue studying them at A Level. I became especially fascinated by the fact that the human body is made up almost entirely of chemical elements. These chemical elements form the genome and control every aspect of every living organism and by forming different sequences of elements and different bonds, unique molecules such as antibodies and proteins can be produced as a first line of defense for the organism. After trying to decide between biology and chemistry as separate subjects, I chose to pursue biochemistry as it combines my favourite
“Doctors treat patients; Biomedical Engineers discover treatments.” Said a guest speaker in a biomedical engineering course I attended in Malaysia. These words opened my eyes to the possibilities of biomedical engineering. To me, biology is a map of systems that connects to form a cohesion diagram. Applying biology in engineering provides me with room to experiment and create which is something I found in every class in this course.

I have been keen on chemistry and biology throughout my time at secondary school. I have always been amazed by human anatomy and physiology. I am particularly interested in understanding methods for diagnosing, analysing and treating disease. Ihope to study biomedical sciences because I wish to pursue a degree which will enable me to explore the world of science in much greater depth and widen my understanding of the role of science in the modern world. I feel that a degree in biomedical sciences will broaden my perspectives and enable me to use my scientific skills in full. I enjoy reading widely on a range of scientific subjects, and look forward to the opportunity that a biomedical science degree will give me to pursue these interests further.
I have always been intrigued by the field of science and that is the reason I pursued the field of Biochemistry for my undergraduate studies. How The Human body works and the different determinants that can affect one's health or a community as a whole have always been captivating to me. I wanted to emerge in a profession that is beneficial for me, my community, and the world I live in. I came to realize through various science courses and health care experiences that a career in health care was the best path for me to outreach my community and the world.
My future plans are to become a biomedical scientist. Biomedical scientists serve in all levels of health science research from basic science working with cell cultures to human clinical trials experimenting the most cutting-edge breakthroughs to maximize human quality of life. I am interesting in researching rare diseases. There are many rare diseases that affect small proportions of the population and unfortunately go unnoticed for reason. Unfortunately, usually it is because therapeutic agents for these diseases would have a much smaller market than therapeutics for common diseases. There is an immense need for research attention to ultimately improve clinical outcomes in patients of rare diseases because many are a lifelong chronic prognosis and are genetic and non-modifiable by lifestyle factors and are lacking of often absent of current treatment options. The government helps by socializing the solution by having money set aside by public National Institute of Health (NIH) to research ‘orphan diseases’. An example of one such program from the NIH is Orphan Products Natural History Grants Program.
