Course summary
Biomedical Science underpins the scientific investigation of human health and disease. Our IBMS-accredited BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science prepares you for the challenges of modern-day pathology work – from developing new treatments to detecting viral infections in patients or organising blood transfusions.
There is a growing need for graduates experienced in the advanced diagnostic and molecular techniques that are revolutionising disease diagnosis and treatment in the NHS, Armed Forces, Industry, Academia and Research.
This course has been specifically designed in collaboration with local NHS clinical laboratories and has been accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science. Scientific and clinical staff from hospitals in North Wales will be involved in many aspects of teaching and many members of staff are prior practitioners.
Designed with industry input, our Biomedical Science BSc aims to give you an understanding of the biology of disease, including modern concepts and applications in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical disorders. IBMS-accreditation ensures that our BSc covers the academic components of the HCPC standards of proficiency for biomedical scientists, developing the practical skills and experience that employers value.
Learning is very much hands-on, grounded in the real-world experiences of lecturers and driven by the latest scientific research. Our own expertise includes, among other things, investigation into the causes of cancer and genetic aspects of birth defects, and the design of new therapies and methods to control tropical diseases.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Biomedical Science (with Foundation Year) B112.
