Here's what University of East Anglia says about its Biomedical Science course.
Overview
NHS Biomedical Scientists have long been at the frontline in the fight against human disease and never has this been more apparent than during the COVID19 pandemic.
Our BSc in Biomedical Science prepares you to tackle current challenges in the field. You’ll study state-of-the-art advances in human health and disease and be trained in the latest techniques to work in medical NHS laboratories.
We offer two degree programmes: BSc Biomedicine which is focused on biomedical research and its translation into the clinic; and BSc Biomedical Science, which is designed to train the next generation of Biomedical Scientists to work in NHS medical laboratories and is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science. If you're unsure which programme to choose, it’s helpful to know that the first-year curriculum is identical for both. This means you’ll have the flexibility to make an informed decision at the end of your first year. For instance, if you initially enrol in Biomedical Science, you can switch to Biomedicine later on—or vice versa—allowing you to tailor your degree to your developing interests and career aspirations.
UEA is at the heart of the Norwich Research Park (NRP) which is a world-class environment for biomedical research.?In collaboration with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (and several other NHS Trust partners) we’ve developed a cutting-edge degree programme. You’ll benefit from our collective expertise which will help you to foster a deep understanding of disease processes in the context of laboratory investigation for improved diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease.
In addition to microbiology, Biomedical Scientists can specialise in disciplines such as haematology, immunology, cell pathology, clinical chemistry and clinical genetics. The future of healthcare provision and the advancement of healthcare innovations hinge on cultivating and recruiting the next generation of highly qualified biomedical researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals. Join us and embark on a rewarding journey to help shape the future of healthcare.

Overall id say that the inversity is okay, the course is good however the lectuerers arent the best and often times lectures feel quite pointless. Things cost a lot here too, with the laundrette and shop being very overpriced making it hard to budget money easily. However, the camous looks quite nic...

Uni life is very fun. You get to spend time with your friends and they're always there so you don't get bored. Norwich is a very average city but again you get used to it and it's also very historic

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good
