Biomedical Science - BSc (Hons)

Southampton, Solent University

Our expert teaching teams will help you to develop the skills required to succeed in biomedical science. You'll be supported to develop practical and analytical skills, exploring the latest technologies and experimental treatments. You’ll learn to undertake biomedical science research that can lead to the development of new diagnostic procedures or therapeutic intervention strategies. You’ll also look at the way that advances in technology can support the self-management of health. Throughout this course you'll have the opportunity to study in our bespoke laboratory facilities. These have been created specifically to support small groups of students as they build their portfolio of lab experience. Your competency will be developed through practical classes and reinforced by our virtual learning environment. Professional development and reflective practice assignments ensure that you are able to apply what you have learnt. Employability sits at the heart of our teaching. An individual final year research project and work-related laboratory assignments mean that you’ll graduate feeling ready to take the next steps in your career. You'll work with biomedical science practitioners and other professionals throughout all three years of the course. Registering as a biomedical scientist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is required for many NHS careers. The IBMS Registration Training Portfolio must be completed in an IBMS accredited laboratory following graduation from Solent. Who is this course for? This course is ideally suited to students who are motivated to explore the scientific basis of health and disease and eager to develop strong laboratory and analytical skills. It is designed for learners who enjoy hands-on practical work and evidence-based thinking and who want to apply scientific understanding to real-world clinical and research challenges. This course is a great fit for those aspiring to any healthcare related careers. Applicants should have an interest in human biology and be ready to engage in theoretical and practical learning in a professional, laboratory focussed environment.
