Biomedical Science

Perhaps you studied biology in school and it sparked an interest in how the human body works and functions. Now, you want to understand things on a deeper level. If so, our (BSc) Biomedical Science degree is for you. On the course, we grapple with big questions such as ‘How are diseases caused?’ and ‘What tools can we use to understand symptoms?’

Through a mix of academic and practical learning, you’ll gain the skills employers look for. These include lab techniques, data handling, computing, report writing, oral presentations, and teamwork. With accreditation from the Institute for Biomedical Science (IBMS), you can be confident that you’ll benefit from highly rated teaching.

The broadness of the degree opens up many possible future pathways. Using their strong links with industry, our academics have helped students find valuable work experience.

Better diagnosis means better treatment for patients. That’s the difference we’re making to people’s lives. Are you ready to join us?

Our (BSc) Biomedical Science degree prepares you for a career at the cutting edge of biomedical science. Alongside training you in theory and practice, many of your modules will also help prepare you for the world of professional work.

Our graduates are highly prized by industry and the NHS. The course IBMS accreditation is recognised by the NHS. And gives graduates an advantage if they want to work in the NHS to start the NHS Biomedical scientist training programme.

We’ll arm you with the skills you need to keep ahead in a rapidly changing workplace. Many have gone on to work in biological, clinical, pharmaceutical, or medical areas.

Popular roles include:

• biomedical scientist
• biochemist
• biotechnologist
• medical research scientist
• lab technician
• forensic scientist
• clinical research associate
• microbiologist.

Many leading universities around the world now have graduate medical schools, and this degree is also a great way to prepare for entry.

Our own MSc Medical Genetics & Genomics degree is an excellent next step for graduates, who want to explore the modern world of genetics.
