A warm welcome to almost 60 new students who have recently joined the Department of Biomedical Science!

Our new faces had the opportunity to attend a departmental briefing session, where our HOD provided an overview of the programme, their study plan and academic journey ahead.

It was a great opportunity for our students to get to know the department, understand what lies ahead, and begin their journey as part of the Biomedical Science family.

Welcome, everyone!
We look forward to seeing you learn, grow and thrive with us.
