Course summary

Our Biomedical Science degree offers an exciting, fast-paced learning experience, giving you a deep understanding of the science behind human health and disease. Biomedical scientists conduct scientific tests to help diagnose and treat diseases and are key to keeping us alive and healthy. You’ll learn how the human body responds to disease, and how to use your knowledge to help identify them. Your skills and qualifications as a biomedical scientist will be recognised across the UK and worldwide.

NHS Biomedical Scientists conduct vitally important scientific tests, which underpin the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. This cutting-edge scientific analysis contributes greatly to the clinical outcomes and recovery of patients. Practical work and training in our £3.5m science labs features throughout the course. This is combined with rigorous study of the body in health and disease at all levels - body, organ, tissue, cellular and molecular.Taught by academic experts and clinical professionals, this wide-ranging degree is accredited by the
