When modern medicine lacks human resources, Phenikaa University opens Biomedical Science major

When technology advances, human resources lag behind

It took the world less than a year to develop a COVID-19 vaccine based on mRNA technology. The groundbreaking applications of CRISPR in gene editing, or 3D bioprinting and stem cell research in regenerative medicine... are all based on the foundation of Biomedical Science .

This is an interdisciplinary field that studies the biological and physiological mechanisms that determine human health and disease. It can be said that all modern medical achievements begin with biomedical science.

But in Vietnam, human resources with formal training in this field are still rare. Students who love life sciences often have to study fields such as biotechnology, general medicine, and then find ways to supplement their knowledge. That makes it difficult for Vietnam to keep up with the rapid development of world medicine.

Answer from Phenikaa University

Seizing that gap, in 2025, Phenikaa University will enroll students for the first time in the Biomedical Sciences major. The school aims to train a generation of experts who are both solid in theory and rich in practical experience.

According to Dr. Do Van Khanh - Head of the Department of Biomedical Sciences, the curriculum is designed in an integrated manner. In the first two years, students are equipped with basic knowledge such as Cell Biology, Immunology, Anatomy, Clinical Biochemistry. From the third year, students approach specialized subjects, closely following world trends: Stem cell technology, Gene therapy - immunity, Drug and vaccine development technology, Artificial intelligence in medicine.

Phenikaa’s big difference lies in the integration of training with practice. Students not only study in the classroom, but also participate in projects, research topics and practice at Phenikaa University Hospital (Phenikaamec) and institutes and centers in the school ecosystem. “Students must be exposed to reality and work in a real environment right from their school days,” emphasized Dr. Van Khanh.

A rare commitment in university education

In addition to the modern curriculum, Phenikaa also creates trust for learners with its employment commitment policy. For students of the 2025 class (K19), if they graduate on time and achieve a Good grade or higher, the school will support career opportunities.

In a context where many students are worried about their output, this commitment is considered a significant plus. It demonstrates the school's confidence in the quality of training, while ensuring long-term benefits for learners.

Along with professional knowledge, students also focus on developing soft skills: communication, presentation, teamwork, self-management. Flexible tuition and scholarship policies in a humanistic direction help many young people have the opportunity to access this new field of study.

Wide open career opportunities

Graduating from Biomedical Science, students have many paths to choose from:

Research and develop new generation drugs, biological products and vaccines at institutes, centers and biotechnology enterprises.

Work as a technician or specialist at hospitals, laboratories, assisted reproductive technology (IVF) centers, stem cell research and application facilities in medical treatment and aesthetics.

Participate in high-tech projects: regenerative medicine, stem cells, smart medical devices and methods for early detection of diseases.

Consulting, pharmaceutical quality management, market development for biomedical products.

For those who are passionate about research, the door to master's and doctoral studies at home and abroad is always open, creating opportunities to become lecturers and scientists.

What if there are no biomedical personnel?

The question is not “why should we study Biomedical Science?”, but on the contrary: If we do not train biomedical human resources, can Vietnam keep up with modern medicine?

In the era of precision medicine and widespread artificial intelligence, the delay in human resources will cause us to miss out on development opportunities. Therefore, Phenikaa University's opening of Biomedical Sciences is not only an additional career choice, but also a solution to the problem of high-quality medical human resources.

Biomedical Science is not only a field of study, but also a journey of knowledge for people to find solutions for public health. With a practical training program, an inspiring learning environment and open career opportunities, Phenikaa University is laying the foundation for a generation of creative, integrated and service-minded healthcare professionals.

In the current of global medical innovation, choosing a major today can be the beginning of a different future.
