Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical science is the discipline that bridges fundamental biology and clinical medicine, using laboratory science to understand disease, develop diagnostic tests, and support clinical care. Biomedical scientists work in hospital laboratories and research institutions, analysing blood, tissue, and other biological samples to inform clinical decisions and advance understanding of how diseases arise and how they can be treated. The discipline draws on biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, haematology, microbiology, and genetics. At Edinburgh Napier University, this four-year, full-time programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study biomedical science in a different national and institutional context, broadening your scientific perspective and your personal resilience. Edinburgh Napier has well-equipped laboratory facilities and a commitment to applied learning,
