Pursuing A Biomedical Degree: Personal Statement

I have always been fascinated by human anatomy and physiology as the human body is an incredibly complex machine. Over the last few years there have been great developments in medicine and technology.

Many people may assume that treating patients entirely relies on a doctor, but what interests me is that without biomedical scientists, the causes, cures and diagnosis of diseases would not be possible. This shows that the biomedical scientists play an important role in the health care field. I believe this degree will widen my scientific knowledge in depth and gives
