This IBMS-accredited program provides essential training for diverse career paths within the NHS and other healthcare sectors. Why select this program? Our course holds accreditation from the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). The BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree creates pathways to numerous professions in biomedical science. During your studies, you'll gain expertise in human anatomy, disease mechanisms, molecular pathology, and cellular biology. The curriculum progresses to explore major pathology specialties, deepening your understanding of biomedical science's role in disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning. We emphasize professional standards and cultivate key employability skills for today's competitive workforce. Practical training includes DNA testing, antimicrobial resistance studies, tissue examination, blood typing, and clotting assessments. Final-year students complete a research project in their chosen specialization. The program offers potential NHS laboratory placements, with successful candidates eligible to switch to the BSc (Hons) Applied Biomedical Science track. Our IBMS-approved Biomedical Science program prepares graduates for multiple healthcare career options. Course highlights The BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science delivers core competencies for professional success. First-year studies establish foundations in human biology, disease processes, cellular functions, genetics, microbes, and immune responses. Second-year students explore physiological systems, molecular disease mechanisms, and diagnostic techniques through hands-on laboratory work. After year two, exceptional students may pursue competitive NHS placements through our applied biomedical science pathway, fulfilling IBMS registration requirements while gaining practical experience. Final-year scholars conduct original research while studying critical laboratory specialties: tissue pathology, genetic diagnostics, blood sciences, biochemical testing, immune system analysis, and infectious disease microbiology.
