BSc Biomedical Science (Life Sciences)
About this course
BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science (Life Sciences), an undergraduate degree exploring human health, disease mechanisms, and the application of laboratory science in healthcare. Core topics include Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Clinical Skills, and Ethics & Professional Practice. Delivered online with mandatory annual laboratory attendance sessions, the curriculum is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science. The first year establishes fundamental concepts through Biology, Information Systems, Applied Mathematics, Good Manufacturing Practice 1, Fundamentals of Chemistry, and Science Laboratory Skills 1. Year 2 builds upon this with Exploitation of Biology, Physiology and Anatomy of the Human Body, Biochemistry, Professional skills for biomedical scientists, Biomedical Science Laboratory Skills 1, Scientific Communication, and an optional Work Based Learning in Biomedical Sciences module. Year 3 advances into Molecular Biology and Genetics, Enterprise in Biomedical Sciences, Biomedical Science Laboratory Skills 2, Pharmaceutical Quality Systems, Bioanalytics, Research Skills in Biomedical Sciences, and Professional Practice in Healthcare Science. The final year covers advanced clinical disciplines through Molecular Pathology, Haematology and transfusion science, Clinical biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Clinical Immunology, Cellular Pathology, and concludes with the Project: Biomedical Sciences.
