BSc Biomedical Science
About this course
BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science, a biomedical science degree focused on the study of human health, disease mechanisms and diagnostic procedures. Core topics include Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods. Practical classes take place in bespoke laboratory facilities designed for small groups, and students complete an individual final-year research project. The first year introduces foundational subjects through Cell Biology and Genetics, Fundamental Biochemistry, Blood Sciences, and Microbiology and Immunology, building core practical competencies. The second year advances into specialized areas with Cell and Molecular Biology, Clinical Biochemistry, Advanced Blood Sciences, and Cellular Pathology. The final year focuses on advanced academic and investigative work, featuring modules such as Biology of Disease, Medical Microbiology, Clinical Genetics, Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the Research Project.
