Bachelor's Degree in Biomedicine

• 2021/2022

In-company internships are a key part of your training. Gaining experience based on what you have learnt in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in the curriculum) and extracurricular (those that you can choose to do on a voluntary basis).

In order to do an in-company one, you’ll need to have obtained 50% of the credits and to enrol in the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor, and also involve interim and final assessment reports.

During the final year, you’ll do an internship at a key institution, research centre or company in the sector at national and international level, which will allow you to put into practice all the knowledge you have acquired. These include:

• CSIC
• Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital Universitario La Paz (IdiPaz)
• Universidad Complutense de Madrid
• Universidad Europea de Madrid
• Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Fundación Jiménez Díaz
• Fundación Investigación Biomedica Hospital Universitario la Princesa
• Inmunotek, S.L
• Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre
• OVOCLINIC
• Servicio de Salud de Castilla La Mancha
• Fundación Privada Instituto de Investigación Oncológica de Vall-Hebron (VHIO)
• IMDEA Alimentación Nutrición de Precisión
• Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal
• Universidad de Vigo
• Fundación Pública Galega Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Santiago de Compostela

If you would like to improve your work experience before finishing your university studies, you can do an extracurricular internship. You can do one in any academic year, but we would remind you that internships are a training complement to your studies. Therefore, the more knowledge you’ve already acquired over the course of your programme, the more you’ll benefit from the internship experience.

Biomedical professionals will be qualified to develop their careers in the fields of biomedical research and the design of new diagnostic methods, prevention techniques, and novel therapies, as well as in the improvement of healthcare through the process that spans from “bench to bedside.” Furthermore, it is essential for Biomedical Science professionals to be capable of analyzing and interpreting the vast amount of biological data generated during biomedical research. This will enable a deeper understanding of pathological processes affecting human health, contribute to advances in medicine and improvements in healthcare, and ultimately enhance the quality of life of the general population.

Among the main career opportunities for Biomedical Science graduates are biomedical research centers and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, where they may conduct research projects on innovative processes related to human health and disease and pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences. They may also focus their professional careers in the fields of bioinformatics, biostatistics, clinical pharmacology, epidemiology, and public health. Within any of these areas, graduates may work as researchers in Public Research Organizations, both national — such as centers belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) or the Carlos III Health Institute — and international institutions funded by the European Commission or the World Health Organization. These professionals may even establish their own companies within the pharmaceutical and biosanitary sectors. Owing to the high quality and multidisciplinary nature of their education, they may also pursue careers as university lecturers.

In addition, Biomedical Science graduates may orient their careers toward the clinical environment, working as researchers, Clinical Trial Data Managers, or senior laboratory technicians in diagnostic laboratories, cell culture facilities, microscopy laboratories, and hospital clean rooms dedicated to cellular production in both public and private healthcare institutions. In these roles, they will collaborate closely with healthcare professionals who work directly with patients, contributing to the guidance and optimization of diagnostic, prevention, and treatment processes. Graduates may also access a healthcare specialization following a specific training period through the official pathway for specialist biologists (BIR).

Finally, an important professional pathway for graduates will be the management of basic, clinical, and translational research within pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, hospitals, health and disease research centers, and animal research platforms.
