Doing it for real is the key to success.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to get hands-on, using the same equipment and doing the same things they do in industry – in some   of the UK’s best labs.

You'll study the key aspects of disease and disease prevention including immunology and virology, haematology, clinical biochemistry and histopathology.

Placements tell employers you know how to do it as well as the why. Our industry connections as well as the support you’ll get from our Employability team all add up to a valuable work placement experience. You can also gain a Diploma in Professional Practice when you take a placement - a valuable addition to your degree.

If you want to be an NHS Biomedical Scientist, this degree is a requirement for your registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). You’ll also need experience of working in an NHS laboratory and a training portfolio. We can support you to get both of these before you graduate by taking a work placement in an IBMS-approved laboratory, where you can complete your training portfolio.

This course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
