Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical science is the scientific foundation of modern healthcare, examining how the human body functions in health and how those functions are disrupted in disease. It brings together biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, microbiology, haematology, pharmacology, immunology and pathology to provide the laboratory-based knowledge and technical competence that underpins clinical diagnosis, treatment monitoring and medical research. Biomedical scientists are the people who analyse blood samples, culture micro-organisms, examine tissue sections and run the laboratory tests that clinicians depend on to diagnose and manage disease. At the University of Bedfordshire, this three-year full-time programme develops your understanding across the breadth of the biomedical sciences, from the molecular mechanisms of cellular function through to the laboratory investigation of major disease categori
