In this course, you will learn about the inner workings of the human body and take part in world-class research. Our BSc Biomedical Sciences course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science and was developed in partnership with practicing NHS laboratory scientists. All of our lecturers are involved in research and you will be taught by experts in their fields. You will learn about the systems that underpin all living organisms from a cellular, tissue, organ and whole body perspective. From this basis, you will study the diseases that affect each area and the mechanisms that the body uses to combat them. The flexible nature of the course will then allow you to pick specialist modules that match your interests. You will also have the chance to carry out a year-long industrial placement or a paid vacation studentship in order to gain valuable work and research experience. This degree is geared towards biomedical careers, and you could go on to work as a biomedical scientist within a hospital or pharmaceutical laboratory. Alternatively, you could work in academic laboratories, scientific publishing or clinical trials. You may also decide to study for higher research degrees or commence a medical, dentistry or veterinary degree course.
