About

About the course

At some point in life we all access services that rely on the expertise of biomedical scientists - professional laboratory scientists involved in blood testing newborn screening and cancer staging. They have played a key role in developing vaccines and tests for the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus. This course prepares you to join them.

Our Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) provides a solid grounding in the laboratory sciences used to research diagnose and treat disease. You gain an in-depth understanding of how the human body works studying the molecular cellular and organ-level processes that take place in the human body and the pathological changes that occur in disease. You also explore advances in areas such as biotechnology and medicine and the impact they have on treatment and scientific research.

The course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (IBMS) ensuring it delivers the scientific education skills and training needed to follow a career as a professional biomedical scientist.

Why choose this course?

Learn about the latest amazing advances in biomedical sciences from research-active staff and guest lecturers from research institutes and hospital laboratories
Benefit from our new STEM building with its modern high-spec science facilities
Accrue knowledge as well as graduate-level analytical and transferable skills that prepare you for a career or further study across a wide range of different scientific disciplines
Graduates with IBMS-accredited degrees can apply for NHS trainee biomedical scientist positions where they will study further to obtain the Health Care Professions Councils (HCPC) portfolio accreditation.

What our students say
