Here's what York St John University says about its Biomedical Science course.
Biomedical Science is the study of human disease, looking at the causes of disease and its effect on the normal structure and functions of the human body. Biomedical scientists perform key roles in the NHS and private healthcare services, using scientific knowledge and laboratory skills to diagnose patients.
Our programme explores the biology of disease at the tissue, cellular and molecular level. You will gain a deep understanding of biological processes and detailed knowledge of the causes and effects of disease. You'll do this by studying a variety of fascinating human disorders and pathological processes.
Topics of study include:
Genetics Cellular pathology Clinical biochemistry Clinical immunology Haematology Medical microbiology.
Our practical programme ensures you receive extensive laboratory experience. This includes practical teaching sessions and access to the laboratories in your own time. Academic and technical staff will supervise these sessions. Students from the years above you can also mentor you as you develop your practical and academic skills.
Our team of academic and technical staff will interact with you during and after your studies. They are passionate about helping you achieve your ambitions. While studying, you'll develop your scientific knowledge and employability. Our focus on transferable and multidisciplinary skills give you a range of employment options when you graduate.
Our established network provides opportunities for placements in the NHS or industry, plus short summer internships, or laboratory-based placements.
You can choose to take a year-long placement in an Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) accredited laboratory. This will extend your course length to four years. During this placement, you will complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio. You'll receive the IBMS Certificate of Competence that enables you to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) after graduation as a Biomedical Scientist.
