Biomedical Science is a course that covers a huge range of topics, such as cancer screening, diagnosing HIV, blood transfusion, the control of infections, immunology and conditions such as cancer and heart disease. It could be the ideal course for students if they enjoy laboratory investigation and the monitoring of diseases.
Students will be introduced to biological and chemical principles, to molecular and cell biology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, and relevant laboratory techniques.
Students will also independently research a subject that interests them. This might include a laboratory-based project, analysis of survey information or a review of scientific literature.
This degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). If students also complete the IBMS Training Portfolio, they can apply to register as a Biomedical Scientist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
