Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical science is the discipline that applies biological and chemical knowledge to understanding disease, diagnosing illness, and supporting clinical medicine. Biomedical scientists analyse blood, tissue, and other clinical samples in hospital laboratories, providing the diagnostic results that clinicians use to make treatment decisions. The field covers clinical biochemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, and cellular pathology, and it requires both the scientific knowledge to understand what is being measured and the technical precision to measure it accurately and reliably. The three-year full-time Biomedical Science programme at the University of Cumbria develops your knowledge, skills, and curiosity in this vital field through theory and hands-on practice in industry-standard laboratories. You will use the same equipment and techniques as professional biomedical scient
