Laboratory work is an important part of this course, giving you the high-level skills and understanding required of a biomedical scientist by the time you graduate.You may consider taking the more practical applied biomedical sciences route. Acceptance onto this route is by competitive application. If successful, you will spend about 1,000 hours over three years working in a local NHS laboratory and gaining academic credit for your work-based study.This will take the form of long summer blocks in a relevant laboratory with further attendance during your final year of study.
