Our Biomedical Science course is tailored for students like you, eager to excel in various biomedical science domains, from clinical pathology services in the NHS or private sector to cutting-edge research and the pharmaceutical industry, and even those considering a future in medicine post-graduation. What distinguishes us is not only our distinctive approach but also our dynamic team of educators who collectively contribute a wealth of experience, encompassing research and clinical expertise, and collaborate closely with employers to ensure that our curriculum remains highly pertinent to the continuously evolving job landscape.


This program is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS)


The core focus of our course lies in nurturing students with vital practical skills and knowledge, equipping them for successful careers in their chosen sectors, whether it's healthcare settings as biomedical scientists, research, or industry roles. Our team is incredibly diverse, with each colleague's unique skills and knowledge complementing one another, spanning from research to clinical expertise, all aimed at achieving the best outcomes for our students.


The course provides an integrated approach towards understanding and in-depth knowledge of human health and disease, with embedded employability skills to meet the HCPC standards of proficiency. Students will acquire knowledge, intellectual and practical skills to understand human disorders and means of disease diagnosis and treatment through laboratory testing.


A distinctive feature of the course is that it introduces the students to state-of-the-art tools used in precision medicine, such as bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and high-throughput drug screening geared towards molecular target identification and targeted therapeutics. Furthermore, students will be trained to apply their knowledge to offer solutions and to develop opportunities in a wide range of clinical settings and industries that require a broad understanding of biomedical science.


You may choose to embark on a placement year in IBMS training-approved laboratories, during which you will fulfil the IBMS Training Portfolio requirements. Upon returning and successfully completing the final year of your studies, you will become eligible to apply for registration as a Biomedical Scientist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Additionally, you may choose to take on a placement year in research institutes or pharmaceutical companies.


According to the National Student Survey (NSS,2023), 87% of students found the teaching on this course to be excellent, along with 86% of learning opportunities and 87% of available learning resources. Additionally, 82% of students felt their voices were heard, 96% believed there was a proper balance between direct instruction and independent study, and 92% found that the course challenged them to achieve their best work.
