Develop advanced knowledge in disease mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment and recent biomedical research.
Biomedical Scientists are essential members of the modern healthcare team and, in collaboration with doctors and other medical professions, aid in diagnosis of disease, evaluate effectiveness of treatment, and research into causes and cures of diseases. This Institute of Biomedical Science accredited course is ideal for those wanting to develop advanced knowledge and skills in Biomedical Science.
Biomedical Scientists are in demand in the healthcare service (NHS pathology labs, National Blood and Transplant Service), medical research, pharmaceutical industry, and organisations such as the UK Health Security Agency and the Medical Research Council.
You will receive training in the skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner.
Applicants should normally have an honours degree (minimum 2:2) containing a significant content of biomedical science, or hold appropriate professional qualifications and be able to demonstrate suitable background knowledge and skills.
MSc Biomedical Science graduates have a wide range of prospects available to them. Many students use the degree to advance their career as HCPC registered practising Biomedical Scientists, working in the National Health Service. Graduates also move into pharmaceutical industries or continue their research interests and complete their PhD.
