NEW SEARCHBiomedical Science is a line of science concerned with the bodily structure of living things. It looks at the cells, organs and structures of the internal body and how these systems work. It’s the fundamental building blocks of medical practice and biomedical scientists are crucial to the function of the medical system, providing key information for successful medical treatment.
There are over 200 postgraduate biomedical programmes at 73 UK universities, offering a range of qualifications that prepare students for a variety of career paths.
Entry requirements for postgraduate courses will vary but you’ll typically need a bachelor’s degree in a related area like biology, biomedicine, biochemistry or clinical lab science.
As a postgraduate in this subject, you’ll develop skills in a variety of techniques and specialist areas of knowledge, from blood analysis to disease screening and biopsy. Examples of modules commonly taught include advanced cell biology, medical microbiology and immunology.
There are many biomedical roles available to postgraduates, from hospital labs to university research centres.
