Course summary

Explore the human body and the disorders that can affect it, to improve the lives of others. From creating new tests, diagnosing life-threatening disease, developing new medical devices and transforming patient care - our dual accredited Biomedical Science BSc will equip you with the multifaceted skill-set to enter a career in the biosciences with extensive specialisation opportunities. Why choose this course?

  • This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology and the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS)
  • Benefit from patient-focused, case-based learning teaching methods
  • Develop your core practical skills in Keele's state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories
  • Engage with world-class researchers and practitioners who are biomedical scientists working within the hospital environment
Biomedical science explores how cells, organs and systems function in the human body and this area is at the heart of innovation and discovery in modern day medicine. You will explore the range of diseases and disorders that can affect our body and develop the skills to diagnose and treat disease effectively. The interdisciplinary skills gained on this course will prepare you for a variety of careers such as a biomedical scientist, medical writer or research scientist. As our programme is accredited by the professional body for biomedical scientists, principal areas of study (set by the Institute of Biomedical Science) focus on developing the skills needed to work within a hospital environment as a biomedical scientist. Graduates of our Biomedical Science programme often go on to pursue a diverse range of careers, so we have developed an authentic multi-disciplinary approach to the delivery of the programme. Instead of offering a module in each of the disciplines within pathology, we look at how each of the disciplines relate to each other. This means you will develop a wide and broad skill-set that employers are looking for. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university. We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level. Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
