Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science

Biomedical science is the application of science to health. It is focused on studying the human body in health and disease, including the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases and complex health problems such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. The focus is on teaching students the practical skills they will need to be successful in this field. Students will get practical experience on this course. Students will get to use the industry-standard equipment right from the very start of their course, such as the Haematology and clinical chemistry analysers, as used in NHS testing laboratories. This means students will stand out from the crowd when applying for placements and positions after graduation. Students will be familiar with how a professional lab works and already know how to follow laboratory processes and protocols used in the workplace. When students are working in the lab facilities, they are becoming familiar with the same equipment they will find in an NHS, research or industrial lab – giving them a head start when they graduate. The Institute of Biomedical Science accredit this course. It is a seal of approval from professional bodies and Nottingham Trent University's assurance that this course is relevant and valued by the NHS.
