Biomedical Science (Cellular and Molecular Pathology) MSc

Biomedical Science is the integrative scientific study of biological issues related to the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions that affect peoples’ quality of life, encompassing a holistic and life-span approach to the provision of diagnostic assessment and intervention.  

This programme will explore the theoretical and practical aspects of Cellular and Molecular Pathology, using a blended learning approach that utilises a mix of on-campus teaching and online learning approaches. This innovative approach will further support the development of your learning experience alongside the delivery of key practical laboratory skills and your professional practice development. 

Designed for graduates of medical science or health related degrees who wish to specialise, as well as Biomedical Scientists who want to advance their career options, our MSc Biomedical Science (Cellular and Molecular Pathology) course will develop your knowledge in the processing and analysis of tissue and cell samples, and how their clinical interpretation is used to direct patient management and treatment.

You will also explore concepts involved in the use and application of existing and emerging molecular pathology diagnostics in Biomedical Science, including genomic and proteomic approaches, to diagnose and study complex diseases.

The programme has a strong emphasis on practical application and real-world case studies, and is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to excel in the field of biomedical science, with a range of transferable skills including creative problem-solving, evaluation, independent learning and working, planning and organisation, research and practical laboratory skills.
