Bachelor in Biomedicine

The University of Zurich offers a Bachelor's program in Biomedizin. This program explores the development, structure, and function of the human body as a complex biological system. It focuses on processes within the healthy and diseased human organism at the cellular and molecular levels. Biomedical research investigates underlying biological mechanisms at the intersection of natural sciences, medicine, and mathematics.

Biomedizin differs from Human Medicine. The Biomedizin program is strongly science- and molecular-focused. It prepares students for careers in biological-medical research, development, and data analysis. Human Medicine is more clinical and patient-oriented, aiming for a career as a doctor. Common lectures and credit transfers between these programs are generally not possible.
