Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Sciences (C741)

With the BSc Biomedical Sciences course, learn about the inner workings of the human body and take part in world-class research with this strongly practical course. The BSc Biomedical Sciences course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science and was developed in partnership with practising NHS laboratory scientists.

Students will learn about the systems that underpin all living organisms from a cellular, tissue, organ and whole body perspective. From this basis, they will study the diseases that affect each area and the mechanisms that the body uses to combat them. The flexible nature of the course will then allow students to pick specialist modules that match their interests. There is also the chance to carry out a year-long industrial placement or a paid vacation studentship in order to gain valuable work and research experience.

Students will have the opportunity to undertake paid vacation studentships funded by organizations such as the Wellcome Trust. These can take place over six weeks during the summer break, or be carried out part-time over a longer period. During studentships, students will typically work on a set project and benefit from valuable training in techniques, experimental design and the interpretation of data.
