Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons)

**Overview**<br/>NHS Biomedical Scientists have long been at the frontline in the fight against human disease, and never has this been more apparent than during the COVID19 pandemic. <br/><br/>Our BSc in Biomedical Science prepares you to tackle current challenges in the field of biomedical science. You’ll study state-of-the-art advances in human health and disease and be trained in the latest techniques to work in medical NHS laboratories. <br/><br/>We offer two degree programmes: Biomedicine (BSc hons) which is focused on biomedical research and its translation into the clinic; and Biomedical Science (BSc hons) which is directed at training the next generation of Biomedical Scientists to work in medical NHS laboratories (currently finalising accreditation with the Institute of Biomedical Science). If youre unsure which programme to choose, its worth noting that the first-year curriculum is identical for both. This allows you to make a decision at the end of your first year regarding which specialisation to pursue in years two and three. For example, if you initially enroll in Biomedical Science, you’ll have the flexibility to switch to Biomedicine at the end of your first year, and vice versa, ensuring you can align your studies with your evolving interests and career goals. <br/><br/>UEA is at the heart of the Norwich Research Park (NRP) which is a world-class environment for biomedical research. In collaboration with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (and several other NHS Trust partners) we’ve developed a cutting-edge degree programme. You’ll benefit from our collective expertise which will help you to foster a deep understanding of disease processes in the context of laboratory investigation for improved diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease. <br/><br/>In addition to microbiology, Biomedical Scientists can specialise in disciplines such as haematology, immunology, cell pathology, clinical chemistry and clinical genetics. The future of healthcare provision and the advancement of healthcare innovations hinge on cultivating and recruiting the next generation of highly qualified biomedical researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals. Join us and embark on a journey to help shape the future. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/>Course details are subject to change.
