This degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and provides a thorough grounding in the theory and laboratory techniques associated with Biomedical Science – a subject dealing with the study of life processes within the context of human health and disease. This IBMS-accredited degree, along with a training period in an NHS lab, represents a core route to employment in the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist. We offer competitive training placements in NHS labs to our Biomedical Science students. Our degree is designed to focus on the key aspects of modern day biomedicine. It is ideal for students with a broad interest in human life processes and disease as teaching places an emphasis on the molecules and mechanisms fundamental to life processes and how these are disrupted by disease. Our IBMS accredited degree is a path to employment as a Biomedical Scientist in the NHS. Also this particular degree opens up research-based careers in the biochemistry of human diseases and conditions, as well as in biomedicine. In addition to postgraduate study for MSc or PhD qualifications, there are many opportunities in management, finance, marketing and the pharmaceutical industry, with recent graduates employed by Glaxo SmithKline and AL control Laboratories.
