Biomedical Science

At the end of this course you will be able to:
1. Demonstrate you understand disease presentation, diagnosis and treatment through studying underpinning scientific subjects and biomedical science specialist subjects, and understand how the human body functions normally and when diseased.
2. Demonstrate scientific, intellectual and practical skills to successfully plan and carry out laboratory investigations in biomedical science and evaluate biomedical data.
3. Exercise professionalism, personal responsibility and decision-making as needed for employment and in situations requiring the exercise of professionalism, personal responsibility and decision-making.
This course produces diplomates who have a broadly based education and training in the areas of science that underpin the disciplines associated with biomedical science.
It will make you aware of the contributions biomedical science makes to improve preventative medicine, diagnosis, and patient care and treatment whilst providing a sound educational foundation on which you can build, by further study, at any stage of your future career to degree level of study. It also provides an opportunity to gain experience of laboratory work.
Many students who initially begin study for HND Biomedical Science wish to continue with their studies to degree level. If you are currently studying HND Biomedical Science you will have the opportunity to transfer to BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science as follows:
either:
At the end of the first year of HND Biomedical Science, if you have achieved 120 credits, instead of proceeding to the second year of HND Biomedical Science, you may transfer to the second year of the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree course. This will allow application for work-based placements associated with the BSc (Hons) Applied Biomedical Science course, and subsequent transfer if successful in gaining a placement.
