In Year 1, you’ll cover the principles of biological and biomedical science that will underpin the rest of your course. You’ll learn through experience-based activities with a core programme of practical workshops, supplemented by lecture material.
In Year 2, you'll address the biology and diagnosis of disease and focus on practical training through clinically based modules. You’ll also complete a short work placement.
In Year 3, you’ll apply the practical skills you’ve developed to conduct your own independent piece of research. In addition you will gain more in-depth knowledge of specialisms within biomedical science. For those looking to study an advanced qualification, we offer an integrated Masters award in Biomedical Science. Through research methods and specialist topics, you’ll gain hands-on experience of advanced techniques and will be encouraged to undertake a substantial research assistantship or placement.

Academic year
The course operates on a modular basis that provides flexibility and choice. Typically the majority of modules are 30 academic credits with a smaller number of 15 credit modules. Each credit taken equates to a total study time of around 10 hours. Total study time includes scheduled teaching, independent study and assessment activity. Full-time students take modules worth 60 credits per semester, with part-time students taking proportionately fewer credits per semester. All students take a total of 120 credits per level and 360 credits for the degree as a whole. Your overall grade for the course and your degree classification are based on the marks obtained for modules taken at levels 5 and 6. The full-time course has one start point in September.
