Overview

Become a highly-skilled biomedical scientist

Biomedical Science is at the centre of modern science. Through this profession, you could identify outbreaks of diseases, uncover breakthroughs in medicine and determine the effectiveness of a patient’s treatment.

With this degree, you’ll be at the heart of all medical research and highly valued in the healthcare sector. If you see yourself as a problem solver, have a passion for science and a deep interest in how the body works, Biomedical Science could be the route for you.

Gain a solid understanding of how the human body works

On this highly practical degree course you will be equipped with the real-life skills that employers are looking for through a combination of high-quality classroom and laboratory skill classes.

You’ll learn about the latest technologies being applied in the biomedical science field to improve diagnoses and treatments in our new purpose-built laboratory facilities using specialist scientific equipment. In your final year you’ll carry out your own research project and look at how research can be applied to commercial settings.

Work alongside our practice-experienced staff

This course is delivered by experienced staff, including Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Biomedical Scientists, who are highly regarded in their fields.

You’ll be taught by research-active academics and conduct research alongside our biomedical science experts as part of your degree. Our team will support you in achieving your learning goals and work with you in developing your study skills and ability.

Discover our supportive community

We pride ourselves on our community and the support we offer our students. Our smaller class sizes ensure that you will be known by a name and truly valued, as you feel the support of your personal tutor from the moment you join.
