Introduction
<h1> <font color="#de1a7a">Diploma in Biomedical Sciences (R14)</font> </h1> <span style="PADDING-LEFT: 10px; FLOAT: right"> <img title="DBMS" alt="DBMS" src="/uploadedImages/Contents/RP/COURSES/Full_Time_Courses/applied_sciences/sas_dbms.jpg" /> </span> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">About the Programme</font> </h3> <p>The biomedical sciences cover a range of subjects from molecules to medicine, body systems to diagnostic sciences, and health issues to the human genome. This course equips you with a firm grounding in the concepts and fundamentals of the biomedical sciences, as well as an appreciation for the biomedical industry, its best practices and societal considerations. The programme helps you develop a passion for the biomedical sciences and a desire to contribute towards understanding fundamental processes of health and disease through research. </p> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">Programme Objectives</font> </h3> <ul> <li>Provide students with a broad-based biomedical science education with options for specialisation in biomedical sciences or medical laboratory technology </li> <li>Prepare students to play a part in combating diseases by building the foundation for a career in medical research or in medical diagnostic laboratories </li> <li>Equip students with practical knowledge and technical skills related to the foundational technologies for working with DNA, cells, and medical technologies </li> <li>Prepare students for employment and equip them with professional, interpersonal, and collaborative skills through industrial attachments or projects </li> <li>Open pathways to further education and a wide range of career options </li> </ul> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">Specialisation Tracks</font> </h3> <p> <strong> <u>1. Biomedical Sciences</u> </strong> <br /> <br />This specialisation guides students in the multi-disciplinary study of health and diseases. You will learn about the biological and molecular sciences underpinning modern medicine, and develop an understanding of normal life processes and the nature of changes occurring in diseases. This specialisation provides you with a solid foundation for further studies and the flexibility to pursue various areas of interest.</p> <p> <strong> <u>2. Medical Laboratory Technology</u> </strong> <br /> <br />This specialisation provides you with the opportunity to combine the study of biology and chemistry with the exploration of state-of-the-art diagnostic technology. The focus of this specialisation is on the powerful technologies used to diagnose disease states, which are typically found in specialised laboratories that support both healthcare and clinical research. You will find it rewarding to apply the understanding of science to solving real-life health problems in a medical laboratory setting.</p> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">Career Prospects</font> </h3> <p>DBMS graduates can work in hospitals and laboratories as junior medical or laboratory technologists in research, diagnostics and therapeutics, or as biomedical sales and marketing executives. You can also work as laboratory technicians in biomedical and pharmaceutical research laboratories.</p> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">Further Studies</font> </h3> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">For more information about university pathways, visit <a title="RP's Further Study Portal" href="/FurtherStudies/AdvPathways.aspx " target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"><strong><u>RP's Further Studies</u></strong></font></a>.</span> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">Application</font> </h3> <p>To find out more about how you can apply for this diploma, visit <a title="Republic Poly's admissions" href="/Admission.aspx"><strong><font color="#0000ff"><u>Republic Poly's Admissions</u></font></strong></a> page. </p> <h3> <font color="#de1a7a">More Information</font> </h3> <p>Want to find out more about the school that offers this diploma?
