If you are interested in applying an understanding of the biological sciences to the study of health and disease, biomedical science is the course for you. Professional Biomedical Scientists perform key roles in the NHS and private healthcare services using their scientific knowledge and laboratory skills to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, often with life-threatening conditions. Moreover, a degree in biomedical science opens a multitude of opportunities to pursue a career in all kinds of areas.

You will study a range of basic scientific core subjects including Biology, Physiology and Biochemistry to enable you to understand the biological and chemical processes that sustain life. You will then progress to explore the biology of disease through investigation of a range of human disorders, disease processes and associated investigation. Throughout the programme you will develop Biomedical Science specific knowledge in the areas of Cellular Pathology, Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Immunology, Haematology and Medical Microbiology.
