Course programme

Who’s this course for? The Biomedical Science Award is accredited by IBMS and covers a range of biological and molecular science areas that underpin modern medicine. The course is delivered in collaboration with local hospital laboratories. Students will visit these laboratories during the Induction week and throughout all levels of their course, and will also receive lectures from laboratory staff at the University. The Division’s extensive modern facilities foster an environment in which cross-fertilisation of ideas and multi-disciplinary research collaborations in this area can thrive, and where integrated student training can be achieved. The multidisciplinary approach allows investigation of normal life processes and the study of pathological changes that occur in human disease. The course also provides a sound theoretical and practical foundation in a range of laboratory sciences that are used to investigate and aid the diagnosis of human disease. The Biomedical Science Award has been designed to offer a focus for students wishing to pursue a career specifically in the biomedical sciences area in the hospital pathology service, in various biomedical industries and in biomedical research. Modular structure The multidisciplinary approach of this course provides excellent opportunities to investigate normal life processes and study the pathological changes that occur in human disease: Areas of study you may cover on this course include: Pathology and physiology, Anatomy and medical physiology, Cellular pathology, Medical immunology, Medical microbiology, Clinical biochemistry, Applications of immunology and microbiology, Biology of diseases, Cellular chemistry and genetics, Human metabolism and genetics, Medical physiology and haematology.
