About this course

Gain the scientific knowledge and laboratory skills needed to investigate, diagnose, monitor and treat different types of disease.

As a biomedical scientist, your skills and qualifications will be recognised across the UK and worldwide. Qualified graduates are highly sought after in pathology centres, forensic science laboratories, research institutions and in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Biomedical science combines the natural sciences with medicine, looking at the biology of the human body and investigating the causes and effects of disease. Biomedical scientists are at the heart of healthcare, driving modern medicine through analysis of patient samples to diagnose disease, assess the effectiveness of treatment, monitor organ function, and provide scientific information to help doctors make informed clinical decisions.
