BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science with Placement Year

Course overview

Study level: Undergraduate

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.
