ABOUT
Build on your knowledge of biology or chemistry. Gain expertise in fields such as medical microbiology, immunology, haematology, cellular pathology and clinical biochemistry. Work towards one of four possible degree titles.
Applied Biomedical Science
The course content is the same as Biomedical Science, but you’ll undertake a 40-week placement in an NHS lab between your second and final year. Placements are subject to availability and an interview with the placement provider is required. The placement allows completion of your IBMS registration portfolio and you’ll be eligible to register as a Biomedical Scientist with the HCPC upon graduation.

Course structure
This course has been designed to develop Biomedical Scientists who will play a vital role in modern healthcare, but the course also follows a research-active curriculum, promoting development of a wide range of subject-specific and transferable skills valuable to employers.
Teaching methods include traditional lectures, lab-based learning, workshops, seminars, case-based learning, group work, and one to one tutorials. In addition, there is directed and independent study and use of the virtual learning environment.
If you choose to apply for Healthcare Sciences (Life Sciences) and are successful at interview, you will study the same course content as Biomedical Science with increasing focus on your specialist area in year 3, but will follow a series of integrated clinical placements each year in an approved clinical training laboratory.
