| and biology. It is a field with many opportunities that are fuelled by rapid advances in technology, creating the need to provide appropriate cultural healthcare and education to the public. South Africa is in great need of skilled workers in the science |
and technology fields and students studying MGI’s BSc Degree in Biomedicine can be assured of gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field.
The programme is grounded in a fundamental body of molecular biology that focuses on human biology. The degree will fulfil the need for people who can communicate at appropriate technical levels to bridge the gap between the layman and the expert. It furthermore has a strong entrepreneurial approach, thus encouraging graduates to connect biology with business.
Undergraduate students will have the opportunity to participate in research and to present their findings in a public forum. They will be able to handle DNA, plant and animal tissues in MGI’s laboratory whilst acquiring a strong foundation in health sciences.
Graduates will have theoretical knowledge of human physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and its applications. In addition, they will meet the professional needs of the pharmaceutical and allied health industries by demonstrating sound research, interpersonal, computer, verbal, and written communication skills. They will be able to work as members of a team, collect, analyse and present information, use technology or other methods of presentation for communication purposes, identify and suggest possible solutions to problems, and organize work requirements to meet deadlines. Graduates will furthermore understand the world as a set of related systems by recognizing that problem solving contexts do not exist in isolation.
