Biomedical Science

- This programme will allow you to gain an advanced understanding of clinical concepts of diseases and their pathophysiology, via laboratory-based investigation using cutting edge methodologies. You will learn critical reflection on biomedical theories and practice and develop a flexible approach to problem solving in biomedical science

You can choose one of three specialist options in the field of clinical immunology, advanced cellular pathology or clinical haematology and transfusion science. This offers you a chance to further pursue your interests in healthcare science

The course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science, which ensures a high standard of teaching is met

You will gain advanced research skills such as Multi-OMICS approach in disease diagnosis, drug development and understanding mechanistic intracellular pathways. You will be conducting independent research in University of Derby’s laboratories, NHS hospital pathology (subject to availability) and/or your workplace (subject to approval), under the supervision of highly qualified research active academics/pracademics

The University of Derby is developing a Super Lab which is planning to open in 2025. The lab is set to revolutionise our students experience, creating an innovative, inspiring and interdisciplinary teaching facility focusing on core elements of Biomedical Science including haematology, immunology, histopathology, molecular biology, genetics and cell/tissue culture

You will bridge the gap between an undergraduate degree and PhD or receive a stand-alone research qualification
