The Biomedical Science MSc lets you tailor your course to your interests and experience with a wide range of optional modules in addition to our core delivery. You can mix modules in microbiology, molecular biology, haematology, clinical chemistry, or blend basic science with studies in science communication or commercialization. This flexibility allows you to deepen your understanding of human diseases, their investigation, and therapy, while also enhancing your skills in designing and executing project work.

Haematology:

This module will enable you to understand how blood cells are produced and how they function in normal and pathological situations. You will consider the causes, consequences and laboratory features of a range of red cell disorders and haematological malignancies, and be able to evaluate and interpret the relevant diagnostic testing procedures.

Professional recognition

This course is not currently accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS): We are seeking we re-accreditation for the course with a decision expected December 2024.

Please note: potential applicants without an IBMS-accredited undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences who want to become HCPC-registered Biomedical Scientists in the UK should contact the IBMS for advice on the suitability of their qualifications for HCPC registration. The IBMS assesses non-accredited qualifications against HCPC education standards to determine whether individuals will need to undertake supplementary education or top-up modules to meet HCPC standards of proficiency for biomedical scientists.
