4 years full-time integrated masters
The skill to diagnose and offer therapeutic intervention is all about bringing scientific understanding to a human context. It’s the ability to bridge the gap between patient and treatment – improving people’s wellbeing and even saving lives.
Our integrated masters degree in biomedical science will help you to build on your knowledge of biology to make a positive impact on health and wellbeing. With us, you could be using microbiology techniques to diagnose the source of an infection or learning how to perform tests to determine safe blood matches for blood transfusion. You will learn about the latest genomic and proteomic techniques and how these may be applied in diagnostics and in the development of new drugs and therapies.
The Department of Life Sciences has strong links to the NHS, hospitals and clinicians, which not only shape our curriculum but also ensure the skills you’re learning are fully relevant to the workplace.
Study the biomedical science integrated masters with us and you’ll emerge as an independent thinker who can apply critical analysis to real-world problems, with knowledge and laboratory skills that are in demand by healthcare organisations. In other words, you’ll have the attributes you’ll need to embark on a range of fascinating careers in the biological, pharmaceutical, healthcare and other associated industries. The degree also offers an excellent grounding for those wishing to pursue a career in research.
