BSc Applied Biomedical Science with DPP (Pathology)
About this course
BSc (Hons) Applied Biomedical Science with DPP (Pathology), an undergraduate degree focusing on the investigation of disease processes and clinical laboratory practice. Core topics include Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Clinical Skills, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Ethics & Professional Practice. Students undertake a compulsory 48-week clinical placement in an approved NHS Pathology or Agency laboratory during the third year to complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio for professional registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. The first year covers foundational concepts through Biochemistry, Human Physiology & Anatomy, Medical Cell Biology, and Practical and Laboratory Skills, introducing biological pathways, cellular structures, and safe laboratory methods. The second year advances into specialized diagnostic subjects with Cellular Pathology, Haematology and transfusion science, Clinical biochemistry, and Applied Genetics, exploring tissue examination, blood science, and genetic defects. The third year consists entirely of the professional placement module in a health service laboratory. The final fourth year concludes with an independent Investigative project, alongside advanced study in Clinical & Molecular Genetics, Clinical Immunology & Medical Microbiology, Molecular pathology, and Pharmacology and Evidence-Based Practice.
