Biomedical Science - BSc (Hons)

Our Biomedical Science degree integrates a range of biological disciplines to promote understanding of how the human body works and the biology of disease. Key contributors to modern healthcare, biomedical scientists play a vital role in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease, monitoring treatments and developing advanced diagnostic tools or novel therapeutic strategies.Throughout the course you will gain practical experience in the laboratories based in our state-of-the-art Alison Gingell Building. Here you will learn and develop the key skills and techniques required for working in a laboratory.You will explore the human body in health and disease, from the functioning of whole body systems down to cell and molecular processes. Course content provides knowledge in the mechanisms, diagnosis and therapeutics of human disease with particular emphasis placed on the specialist areas of biomedical science: clinical biochemistry, medical microbiology, cellular pathology, haematology, immunology and genetics.3 years full-time
