This course is designed to give you valuable hands-on experience in biomedical science, supporting your development for roles in healthcare, research or industry.
Biomedical science involves the study of human biology, health and disease. This course explores key clinical laboratory specialities such as medical microbiology, clinical biochemistry, pathology, and haematology and transfusion science.
You will have the opportunity to:
Study current and emerging techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease aligned to key specialisms, including clinical genetics, biochemistry, haematology and transfusion science.
Learn advanced lab techniques in our Super Lab. Our laboratory classes are designed to help you develop and build confidence in key techniques to support your professional development.
Focus on key clinical specialisms within biomedical science, developing your understanding of disease and diagnostic processes, as well as providing insight into the role of a biomedical scientist.
Why you should study this course
Super Lab: you’ll have the chance to build strong practical skills in our purpose-built Super Lab, where you can learn essential laboratory techniques in an environment designed to reflect real-world settings. With a capacity of over 200 students, it supports collaborative and interactive learning.
