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 those students who enjoy laboratory investigation and the monitoring of diseases.
Students will be introduced to biological and chemical principles, molecular and cell biology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, and relevant laboratory techniques.
They'll 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). Those who also complete the IBMS Training Portfolio, they can apply to register as a Biomedical Scientist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
This degree provides excellent preparation for careers in science, health and education, and postgraduate studies such as medical and research degrees.
