Students will learn how to better understand the pathological mechanisms that cause diseases, thus understanding how to treat them more efficiently through applying basic research in the field of medicine. During the bachelor’s degree, students will discover the biological foundations (biochemical, molecular, genetic, and physiological) that determine the functioning of living organisms and humans.

First academic year in Spanish. Other years, trilingual: Spanish, Catalan, and English depending on the language skills of the students and faculty.
You’ll get to take advantage of the largest teaching laboratory in Spain, equipped with the latest technology.
Up to three hours a day of laboratory work from the very first year.
Internships in research centres or with important companies in the sector.
Possibility of studying abroad.
At IQS, students work in laboratories and workshops equipped with the latest technologies. We have specific laboratories for the Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences, where you can put into practice everything you learn during your studies.
Biomedicine is the discipline that is responsible for studying the biological aspects of medicine. To do so, it analyses the cellular, genetic, molecular, and biochemical factors of the human body and the diseases from which people may suffer.
Students will be able to:
• Carry out medical research in which biomedical instruments and tools are implemented.
• Solve problems in the field of health using biological procedures.
• Analyse and apply logic in different processes.
• Spend significant time on scientific research within the laboratory.

To apply for admission to one of our bachelor’s degrees, you must submit various documents to us so we can assess your application. Create an account and sign in here. You must save and remember your username and password as they will enable you to continue the process you have started.
Students from the Spanish educational system:
Students from outside the Spanish educational system:
You must select the date to take the admissions test when making your application, based on the established calendar.
During the process, you must pay a €125 administration and processing fee for your application. Payment can be made online by credit or debit card. This amount will be refunded only in the event that a student is not admitted to the studies, notwithstanding the right of withdrawal under the legally established terms.*
The ONLINE admissions test is a psychometric test and also includes an English level test that you must take regardless of whether or not you have an official language certificate.
Admissions tests will be sent by email at 3:30 pm (Spanish time) on the date you have selected. The duration of the test is approximately three hours and you have 24 hours to take the test: from 3:30 pm on the day the test begins until 3:30 pm the following day.
The Admissions Committee will decide on your admission based on your studies, academic results, and the admissions test. The Admissions Committee will inform you on your admission by email within a maximum period of 15 days from the date you took the admissions test (not counting holiday periods such as Christmas and Easter).
A student’s admission is conditional upon meeting the academic requirements necessary for accessing bachelor’s degree studies.
The pre-enrolment payment is mandatory and is the step that must be taken before the enrolment period opens, during which time students must formalize their enrolment.
Once admitted, you have a period of two weeks to make your pre-enrolment payment on the online pre-enrolment platform by credit or debit card. Otherwise, it will understood that the student is not interested in continuing with the process and their pre-enrolment will be cancelled.
Pre-enrolment does not entail an additional cost as the sum will be deducted from the total tuition fees when payment is made. The payment is only refunded in the event that a student does not meet the requirements to access studies at IQS (not having passed the PAU exams, not passing studies prior to accessing university, or not having obtained their student visa), notwithstanding the right of withdrawal under the legally established terms.*
Pre-enrolment tuition fee for the Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences: €3,000
The enrolment period will open starting the last week of June. Pre-enrolment only ensures that a student can enrol in a bachelor’s degree up to 15 days after the opening of the enrolment period. Otherwise, it will be understood that the student is not interested in continuing with the process.
We will send an email with the credentials and instructions to proceed with your enrolment.
