Biomedical science is the application of science to health. It is focused on studying the human body in health and disease, including the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases and complex health problems such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. At NTU we focus on teaching you the practical skills you’ll need to be successful in this field.If your mission is to save lives, then you’ll get all the practical experience you need on our course. You’ll get to use our industry-standard equipment right from the very start of your course, such as our Haematology and clinical chemistry analysers, as used in NHS testing laboratories. This means you’ll stand out from the crowd when applying for placements and positions after graduation. You’ll be familiar with how a professional lab works and already know how to follow laboratory processes and protocols used in the workplace.When you are working in our lab facilities, you are becoming familiar with the same equipment you’ll find in an NHS, research or industrial lab – giving you a head start when you graduate.
Industry focusedWe don’t work in isolation from employers. Our strong working relationship with the NHS and local employers benefits you in lots of ways.We meet regularly with employers within the NHS and the wider biomedical industry to keep our courses current - this means you are learning with the most up-to-date teaching materials and practical skills.We have staff who are currently working or have previously worked in the NHS and related areas. These links give you access to the latest industry knowledge and projects that mirror workplace-like experiences in the NHS. This all adds up to give you an insight into where you could be working after graduation.
Develop your portfolioWhile you are at NTU you’ll compile a Skills Portfolio. This is where you’ll keep evidence of all the techniques and skills you’ve mastered. These portfolios help you to document and develop your skills while you are with us, honing the skillset of a graduate Biomedical Scientist. They are a valuable tool when you graduate too, as they can be used to show future employers you are ready to work in a professional environment.
