**Overview**
Our Biomedical Science degree is at the forefront of understanding, diagnosing and treating human disease through laboratory and scientific investigations. Qualified Biomedical Scientists are highly sought after in pathology centres, forensic science laboratories, research institutions and in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
You will gain the scientific and practical knowledge and skills to diagnose disease, evaluate disease progression and the effectiveness of medical interventions. Investigating potential treatments, researching drug and equipment development, testing emergency blood transfusions and screening for diseases are just a few examples of the application of Biomedical Science.
The Biomedical Science team has an excellent research portfolio, which includes working in NHS diagnostic pathology laboratories. Our teaching staff place a strong emphasis on biomedical diagnostics, therefore research opportunities will be available throughout the course.
