Biomedical Science

About this course

Biomedical science is the application of biological and chemical sciences to understanding human health and disease. Biomedical scientists work in clinical laboratories, research institutions, and the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, applying their expertise to the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, the development of new treatments, and the maintenance of safe blood supplies and diagnostic services. The profession is a critical but often invisible part of healthcare: most diagnoses depend on laboratory tests analysed by biomedical scientists, and their accuracy and speed directly affects patient outcomes. At Leeds Beckett University, this part-time programme develops the scientific knowledge and laboratory skills needed to work as a professional biomedical scientist. You will study haematology, clinical biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, histopathology, transfusion science
