Program Description

Throughout the Bachelor in Biomedical Science (BSc) at De Montfort University, students will explore the analytical skills needed for research and investigation, develop an understanding of the role biomedical science plays in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and apply their knowledge and practical skills to a variety of clinical lab settings.

Learners will study key healthcare topics, such as infectious disease, cancer, and heart disease, building towards the final year, where the program focuses on clinical laboratory specialists, informed by current working professionals. Students also complete independent research projects in areas they are interested in, supported by leading academics in topics ranging from Alzheimer’s to Zika virus.

A Biomedical Science degree is highly sought after in NHS clinical laboratories, research institutions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as an ever-expanding range of healthcare related professions.

The Bachelor in Biomedical Science (BSc) is an IBMS accredited course focuses on training students in one of the fastest developing areas of science, which underpins much of modern medicine. Students are prepared with a detailed understanding of science in healthcare, covering the application and understanding of techniques used to diagnose complex diseases in clinical and research laboratories.

Key Features of the Program

  • This course is professionally accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
  • Students can become eligible to apply to the HCPC Register, by completing an HCPC approved Certificate of Competence portfolio with the IBMS, (this can be completed as part of their optional placement year).
  • Students will study a wide range of current and cutting-edge topics in Biomedical Science, including anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology and the analytical skills of modern biomedical science.
  • They will gain industry experience during an optional placement year. Students have worked in a number of NHS laboratories, as well as in research laboratories at organisations including the London School of Hygiene, Tropical Medicine and Public Health England, even working internationally.
  • The Health and Life Sciences facilities have received substantial investment – Biomedical Science students will benefit greatly from recently refurbished teaching laboratory space, with attached cell culture facilities.
  • Students benefit from an international experience through our DMU Global program, which has seen students conducting Biomedical Science workshops on topics including malaria, sickle cell disease, and diabetes to school students in Zimbabwe and Bermuda.
  • Graduates have gone on to work in diagnostic laboratories in both the public and private sectors, NHS laboratories, research institutions and the biotechnology industry, in roles as biomedical scientists, laboratory assistants, associate practitioners, pharmacology technicians and more.
  • Students will benefit from block teaching, where most students study one subject at a time. A simple timetable will allow them to really engage with their learning, receive regular feedback and assessments, get to know their course mates and enjoy a better study-life balance.
  • The Biomedical Science BSc programme has a large and diversely skilled teaching team. Specialist areas of research expertise include cancer, immunology, genetics, toxicology, microbiology, chemical synthesis and drug design, musculoskeletal biology and medical physics.
