Our Biomedical Science program, accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), offers comprehensive training in both general and specialized areas of biomedical science. You'll explore how human cells, organs, and systems operate while learning core concepts about disease development and therapeutic approaches. In your second year, you can opt for a year-long placement in industry or an approved NHS training lab. Choosing the NHS pathway enables progression to the BSc Applied Biomedical Science program, leading to eligibility for HCPC registration as a Biomedical Scientist after graduation. This IBMS-accredited BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree ensures professional recognition.
Graduates will possess a solid foundation for advanced study or research, along with versatile skills valuable in biomedical science and other fields. The program develops competencies to influence healthcare, diagnostics, and disease management while fostering critical thinking, teamwork, data analysis, problem-solving, and communication abilities. Career opportunities include roles as Analytical Chemists, Toxicologists, or Medicinal Chemists. NHS placement students qualify for HCPC registration as Biomedical Scientists. Our ongoing IBMS accreditation guarantees training that prepares graduates for diverse roles in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or healthcare sectors.
