BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science

... United Kingdom
... York St John University

Course Overview

On this Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and Royal Society of Biology (RSB) accredited course you will investigate human biology and disease. You will study the biology of disease at a tissue, cellular and molecular level to understand its structure and biological processes. This will give you detailed knowledge of what causes disease and how it affects us. Throughout your degree you will study a variety of pathological diseases. As you progress, you will explore:

  • Genetics

  • Cellular pathology

  • Clinical biochemistry

  • Clinical immunology

  • Haematology

  • Medical microbiology

Our practical course gives you extensive laboratory experience. You will have lots of practical teaching sessions and can also access our laboratories in your own time. Academic and technical staff will supervise these sessions and support you as you learn. We also offer the opportunity for mentorships from students in their second year.

We have an extensive network with local NHS trusts and can help you find placements in the NHS. You can also choose a year long placement in an IBMS accredited laboratory. This extends the length of your course to 4 years and your award will become Biomedical Science (with Placement). During this placement you will complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio, and you will receive the IBMS Certificate of Competence which allows you to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Biomedical Scientist.
