Immerse yourself in the world of Biomedical Science on a course with small class sizes and outstanding facilities, led by dedicated, experienced staff.
Examine how different diseases affect the normal structure and function of the human body in our impressive Biomedical Science laboratories. Through this course you will gain the scientific knowledge and laboratory skills needed to investigate, diagnose, monitor and treat different types of disease.
Biomedical Science is the study of human biology and disease. Throughout the course you will build scientific knowledge and learn how to investigate, diagnose, monitor and treat different human diseases, alongside developing practical laboratory skills.
On this Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and Royal Society of Biology (RSB) accredited course you will investigate many different aspects of human biology and disease. This will mean studying the biology of disease at a tissue, cellular and molecular level to understand its structure and biological processes. This will give you detailed knowledge of what causes disease and how it affects us. Throughout your degree you will study a variety of pathological diseases. As you progress, you will explore:
* Genetics
* Cellular pathology
* Clinical biochemistry
* Clinical immunology
* Haematology
* Medical microbiology
* Several other clinical specialities
Our practical course gives you extensive laboratory experience. You will have lots of practical teaching sessions and can also access our laboratories in your own time. Academic and technical staff will supervise these sessions and support you as you learn. We also offer the opportunity for mentorships from students studying at a more advanced level of the course.
We have an extensive network with local NHS trusts and can help you find placements in the NHS and beyond. You can also choose a year long placement in an IBMS accredited laboratory. This extends the length of your course to 4 years and your award will become Biomedical Science (with Placement). During this placement you will complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio, and you will receive the IBMS Certificate of Competence which allows you to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Biomedical Scientist.
