Course summary

Our biomedical science integrated masters degree offers an advanced-level understanding of biomedical science practice. You’ll gain a deeper knowledge of the biological principles that relate to the workings of the human body, as well as gaining an insight into the underlying biology of a wide range of health disorders and their treatments. As you progress through the degree, you’ll move on to more specialist and advanced topics. That could include anything from cell and molecular biology, physiological systems and research skills, to blood science, genetics and immunology – to name but a few. You’ll spend your final year focusing on a major independent lab-based research project in the area of your choice. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
