This Biomedical Studies (Distance Learning) MSc is a flexible online course designed to help you undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or progress to a postgraduate qualification in biomedical science. This course is ideal if you are already working in a biomedical science environment.
Taught entirely online, this remote Biomedical Studies MSc allows you to learn at your own pace with the support of our biomedical science team. Learning materials are available 24/7 through our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Weblearn, with the majority of learning being self-directed. Core modules may include some online tutorials, giving you the option to engage with your module leaders and fellow students. However, this interactive side to the course isn't mandatory. As a participant of this master's course you'll have access to our online help service, where we aim to respond to all online queries as quickly as possible.
Members of the academic staff are often ex-practitioners of biomedical science, and you’ll find many of our researchers and staff members are conducting cutting-edge research. The team is also involved in an active biomedical science research group covering areas such as immunology, haematology, microbiology and biochemistry.
Like many of our applicants, you may already be working in a biomedical science environment, either as part of a health service or the broader industry. While people take the course for various reasons, it's especially well-suited for those seeking career advancement and CPD.
