The science of saving lives Biomedical science is the laboratory science that underpins disease diagnosis and management, focusing on how cells, organs and systems function in the body. Our BSc Biomedical Science (study abroad) provides rigorous research-led teaching in the theory and practical techniques associated with biomedical science. It is ideal for students with a broad interest in human life processes and disease, as the course places an emphasis on developing a detailed understanding of the molecules and mechanisms fundamental to life processes and how these are disrupted by disease. This course is highly specialised and focuses on the key aspects of modern-day biomedicine as well as embedding the clinical specialisms of medical microbiology, clinical biochemistry, cellular pathology, haematology and transfusion science, clinical immunology and clinical genetics that are core to the work of pathology laboratories. It is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). Students who graduate from this IBMS-accredited degree programme, train in an NHS lab and complete an IBMS registration training portfolio can register as a Biomedical Scientist and work in NHS pathology labs. Biomedical Scientists play an essential role in disease diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of medical interventions and healthcare treatments. You will be taught by our research-active academics and practising Biomedical Scientists from local hospitals, meaning you will graduate with an excellent understanding of the subject and a strong insight into life as a Biomedical Scientist. By spending your third year studying abroad, you will have an opportunity to explore new and different perspectives on your course, while gaining experience of what it is like to live and study in a different country. During your year abroad you are only required to pay 15% of the standard tuition fees. And, by undertaking our research-led degree, you will gain practical skills and competence in experimental design; numerical skills such as statistical analysis, data recording and presentation; and interpersonal skills such as team working, communication and negotiation. These skills are highly valued by employers and are transferable to other careers both within the sciences and broader fields such as marketing, finance and management.
Your journey through biomedical science The curriculum of our Biomedical Science BSc is highly structured in order to meet the requirements for IBMS accreditation.

You will begin, in Year 1, by studying fundamental themes that will provide you with a firm foundation for the rest of your course; topics covered include biomedical science practice, molecules of life, infection, immunity, anatomy and physiology.
In Year 2, you will progress on to studying the topics that are core to the discipline of biomedical science, including blood sciences, clinical biochemistry, medical microbiology and cellular pathology, as well as genetics, immunology and cell biology.
You will spend Year 3 with one of our overseas partner universities, immersing yourself in a different culture, meeting new people with diverse perspectives and developing a confident and well-rounded outlook for your final year back in Lancaster. By studying abroad you will be able to experience living in another country and exploring different and diverse sides of your degree subject.
Year 4 will see you focus in greater depth on specific aspects of human disease through themes spanning clinical immunology, cancer, medical genetics, pathobiology and also explore global health challenges. In Year 4, you will also carry out your own independent research project. This is your opportunity to make a unique contribution to increasing scientific knowledge in an area of biomedical science that fascinates you.
