Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical science is the study of the health and diseases of the human body to improve health. Because biomedical scientists need a wide range of knowledge and skills, students will study a wide range of modules.

Students will get an in-depth understanding of the complex science behind the cause, consequence, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses. They will learn how science can be applied to clinical practice and research, ultimately to make a difference to human lives through the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

By putting the lab coat on students will put theory into practice in brand-new laboratories, getting a sound knowledge of cellular pathology, genetics, the human immune system, and biochemical pathways. This course will delve deep into blood sciences and clinical biochemistry, giving students the opportunity to expand their knowledge of diagnostic approaches, researching clinical markers, screening techniques and the role biomedical scientists can play in saving lives and improving health.

In this course students will: • Develop an enthusiasm for Biomedical Sciences and be involved in stimulating and structured learning opportunities. • Be assigned a personal tutor who will not just be their academic point of contact on the course but will, along with careers service, help them to consider the wide range of jobs and further study options a degree in biomed can give them. • Have the opportunity to be involved with other science students on other courses to get a wider appreciation of the biosciences in an industrial, academic, economic, and social context. • Get time in labs to conduct experiments and procedures planned for them. But also learn to plan and carry out their experiments independently with support and guidance. • Gain an appreciation of the advances at the forefront of Biomedical Sciences. • Gain a knowledge and skills base from which will help them move towards employment or postgraduate study.
