Over the course of our biomedical science degree, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the biological principles that relate to the workings of the human body, as well as gaining an insight into the underlying biology of a wide range of health disorders and their treatments.

After gaining a solid grounding in the principles of biomedical science, you’ll move on to specialist topics, acquiring the in-depth understanding and advanced techniques vital for professional practice. That means you’ll study a range of areas, from cell and molecular biology, physiology and immunology, to microbiology and diagnostic and research techniques, to name but a few.

In your final year, you’ll get the chance to develop your own particular interests via a major project. With our excellent facilities, strong research focus and close links with local hospitals, by the time you graduate you’ll be ready for the next stage of your career.

Features And Benefits
