If you wish to follow this route you must initially apply for BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science and successfully complete the first year. Cohort size is dependent on placement capacity. Admission to the programme will depend on a successful interview to transfer to the second year of Healthcare Sciences and you will then start your first clinical placement. Completion of subsequent modules and final year placement will lead to the award of the degree title BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science. Combining practical and theoretical modules, you’ll gain the knowledge you need to make confident, informed decisions about patient care and treatment in a laboratory setting. Everything you’ll learn is tailored to the NHS, and you’ll spend time each year preparing for an NHS career by learning and working in one of their pathology laboratories. After your second year, you can choose to specialise in blood science, cellular science or infection science, to suit your strengths and ambitions. To be admitted to this course you must successfully complete year one of the Biomedical Science degree at UCLan and pass a selection interview.
