Course Overview
Overview
Explore the causes of disease that have a major global impact at a systems, cellular and molecular level.
You will learn how biomedical research is helping researchers and clinicians develop novel therapeutic strategies and inform government health policy. As part of our frontline medical team, biomedical scientists in healthcare laboratories are involved in over 70% of UK diagnoses and play vital roles in monitoring chronic diseases.
Studying biomedical science will also prepare you for a broad range of scientific careers beyond NHS and public laboratories, including research and development, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, the food and water industry, clinical trials, medical sales and teaching.
Working in our state-of-the-art and specialist laboratories, you will be taught by research experts in human disease, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and cancer. You will also get to grips with innovative technologies such as gene therapy and novel immunotherapies used in experimental treatments driving more effective approaches to medicine in the future.
Recent investment in the Digital Health Enterprize Zone (DHEZ) allows students to access the latest techniques in digital anatomy and pathology, including carrying out digital dissection. You will receive wide-ranging training across a variety of medically related disciplines and are able to choose a specialist pathway in your final year.
