Pioneer the Future of Healthcare with your Biomedical Sciences Degree at Apiit Sri Lanka!
View(s):
The world of healthcare is evolving faster than ever before, with breakthroughs reshaping how we prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Just recently, researchers made global headlines for developing “skin in a syringe,” injectable skin cells engineered to regenerate damaged tissue, offering hope for burn victims and patients with chronic wounds. Elsewhere,
scientists are harnessing gene editing, personalised medicine, stem cell therapies, and AI-powered diagnostics to combat complex diseases like cancer and rare genetic disorders.
These advances are transforming medicine, and at the heart of it all are biomedical scientists, who turn cutting-edge research into real-world healthcare solutions. As demand for biomedical expertise grows worldwide, Sri Lankan students now have the chance to join this vital field through a globally recognised programme, without having to leave home.
A Globally Recognised Degree with Local Access
APIIT Sri Lanka, in partnership with University of Staffordshire, has been a leading TNE-provider delivering British higher education in Sri Lanka for over 25 years. The APIIT Department of Biomedical Sciences now offers a BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science awarded by the University of Staffordshire, a UK institution with a strong reputation for innovation and research-led teaching.
This programme allows students to complete their studies entirely in Sri Lanka while earning a globally recognised UK qualification. It offers the perfect balance between international quality and local affordability, giving Sri Lankan students a competitive edge without the cost of studying overseas.
Students also have the flexibility to transfer to the University of Staffordshire in the UK to complete their final years and also apply for the 1.5-year post-study work visa, giving them the chance to gain valuable international experience before returning to Sri Lanka or continuing their careers abroad.
Get Training to meet the High Demands of the Global Industry
Biomedical science is the backbone of modern healthcare. From running diagnostic tests in hospitals to conducting cutting-edge laboratory research, biomedical scientists are behind nearly 70% of all clinical decisions made in medicine, according to the Institute of Biomedical Science (UK).
The demand for these professionals is rising rapidly worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates a global shortfall of 10 million health workers by 2030, with laboratory and diagnostic roles among the fastest-growing. In Sri Lanka too, the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are expanding, creating opportunities for graduates with strong scientific training.
Graduates of APIIT’s Biomedical Science degree can build careers in:
- Clinical laboratories in hospitals and diagnostic centres
- Biomedical research institutions
- Pharmaceutical and biotech companies
- Public health, epidemiology, and health policy
- Further postgraduate study (MSc, MRes, PhD, or Medicine)
Why APIIT?
Pursuing a degree in biomedical science completely overseas can be financially out of reach for many. With an approximate LKR 12 million saving compared to completing the full degree overseas, APIIT’s Biomedical Science programme also stands out as the most cost-effective pathway to earning a UK qualification in the field.
Yet another key strength of the degree is its experienced academic team, many of whom hold PhDs and are research-qualified, and bring years of both academic and industry expertise into the classroom. Students benefit from close guidance from lecturers and personalised support to help them achieve their best.
The work of biomedical scientists affects millions of lives every day, from the fight against pandemics to the development of life-saving drugs. As technology continues to advance, the next generation of biomedical scientists will be central to solving the world’s toughest health challenges.
The BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree at APIIT Sri Lanka equips students with the knowledge, skills, and global perspective they need to join this mission, and to build careers that make a real impact.
APIIT Sri Lanka is a higher education institution that operates in partnership with University of Staffordshire, UK and NCUK, a pathway provider to over 64+ universities around the globe. APIIT Sri Lanka also has partnerships with Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation, Malaysia and Southern Cross University, Australia.
APIIT Sri Lanka has to-date, turned out nearly 6000 graduates who have completed their University of Staffordshire awards in Computing, Business and Law in Sri Lanka, making a considerable contribution to the human capital development of the country.
