Higher Diploma in BioAI
The Higher Diploma in BioAI seamlessly integrates key disciplines such as Molecular Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Technology, Physics, and Genetic Engineering. This multidisciplinary approach provides students with a strong foundation in biomedical research, preparing them for innovative applications in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, drug design, and more. A particular emphasis is placed on Computational Biology, a rapidly advancing field that leverages computational tools to analyse complex biological data.
The first two years of the program are accredited by NCC UK at Levels 4 and 5, ensuring high academic standards and global recognition. Instead of a traditional third year, students complete the Higher Diploma with us, after which they have the opportunity to top-up their qualification by specialising in either Biomedical Sciences or Artificial Intelligence at top universities worldwide. This structure allows students to tailor their education to their specific career aspirations and interests.

Student Testimonials
I did the OSSD Program at ISC Education and I have no regrets in choosing them as they were really helpful in every way during my OSSD studies. They not only helped me in this but also assisted and guided me through the Visa process step by step. I simply had to provide all the necessary documents needed for my study visa and everything else was done by ISC Education itself. Thanks to them I've received my Study visa with no issues at all and will soon embark on an academic journey to becoming a Biomedical Engineer.

ISC is one of the best places to finish you advance level studies in the shortest period of time. Their courses are very efficient, simple and affective and the support from the teachers, lectures and staff is brilliant. The environment here is very peaceful which is perfect for studying. As a student studying in the OSSD course provided at ISC I can ensure that they have the best facilities and support for a positive experience here!
Fallon Perera
Great career counseling, affiliated university varieties with degree program pathways.
As a student of the OSSD, the A/L alternative program it is much faster to complete. Productivity has surged recently due to the implementation of strict timelines with excellent facilities provided by ISC education.

SC has been very supportive to me and has helped me in many aspects while I have learnt here. The institution is well maintained as well. OSSD turned out to be, personally, much easier than I had been expecting. And it was a lot quicker, too.

The environment is so peaceful that work can be done easily without distractions, the teacher help us with are work and clear any doubts that we may have. Since I am following ossd course in social science path which will help me be a lawyer in the future. I highly recommend this course which will help you become a well rounded individual for the future
