Biomedical Science - BSc (Hons)

University of Worcester

Biomedical scientists play a vital role in diagnosing disease, monitoring health conditions and supporting effective treatment through laboratory testing. On this course, you'll learn from experienced scientists and gain practical laboratory experience analysing patient samples and using specialist diagnostic techniques. You'll develop hands-on skills alongside the scientific knowledge needed to understand how diseases are detected and investigated. By the time you graduate, you'll have developed the technical skills, knowledge and confidence needed for careers in healthcare, research and the life sciences. This IBMS-accredited degree can also prepare you to become a registered biomedical scientist in the NHS or progress to further study, including Graduate Entry Medicine.

* Practical learning is at the heart of the course, with opportunities to work in specialist laboratories. * Carry out investigations, analyse patient samples and develop the technical skills used in modern biomedical science. * Gain hands-on experience using industry-standard laboratory equipment and techniques. * Build your understanding of how diseases are diagnosed, monitored and treated. * Learn from staff with experience in both academic research and NHS laboratories. * Receive individual support and guidance through small class sizes.

As an Institute of Biomedical Science accredited degree, this course prepares you for careers in hospital laboratories, supporting the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Through practical laboratory work and industry-relevant experiences, you'll develop the confidence, technical expertise and professional skills needed for the workplace. Many students progress into roles including scientific communications, medical sales, field application science, and clinical trials management, while others continue their training as doctors, physician associates, or biomedical scientists.
