Introduction
Our degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and the Royal Society of Biology (RSB). During your studies you explore the biochemical processes that occur in the human body, learn how they respond to diseases, and how this knowledge can be used to identify and treat diseases.
In your first and second years, you develop your skills as a bioscientist, covering areas including biological chemistry, genetics, molecular and cellular biology, human physiology and disease, and metabolism.
In your final year, your modules cover areas such as immunology, hematology blood transfusion, and pathogens. Optional modules cover areas including the biology of aging, neuroscience, and cancer biology.
Sandwich year
Biomedical Science offers the possibility of doing a one-year placement away from the University between Stages 2 and 3. Sandwich placements provide an excellent opportunity to gain relevant work experience, usually in the pharmaceutical industry or a research institute. These placements can be in the UK or abroad. You are paid by your employer and produce an independent research project.
