MSc Biomedical Science
Over this one year course, you’ll study a range of core units that cover various areas of biomedical science. From taking a systematic approach to disorders to the principals and applications of essential analytical techniques in modern biomedical science, such as electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and recombinant DNA technology.
You’ll focus on topics at the leading edge of biomedical research, looking at elements of immunology, cancer biology, infectious diseases, medical genetics and more – not just working to understand these diseases alone, but also the way these pathological sciences interact.
Our Recent Advances in Biomedical Research core unit offers you the opportunity for independent study of a topic at the forefront of biomedical research. You will also choose from a range of option units, helping you to set the direction for your studies. This may include topics such as infectious disease, aspects of transfusion medicine and histopathology.
We have designed our Research Methods and Ethics in Biomedical Science unit to help you develop advanced skills in research methods. You’ll explore the evidenced-based and ethical frameworks you’ll need to complete your own in-depth, independent research project.
Above all, your research project is your chance to tackle the issues that fascinate you most. With a deep dive into a topic of your choice, your project will help you understand both the process and the communication of scientific enquiry. You’ll be guided through your proposal and review process to equip you with the skills you need to complete an independent piece of research.
As part of our Department of Life Sciences, you’ll have the support of an expert team and access to excellent laboratory facilities spanning microbiology, exercise performance and human physiology, cell and molecular biology, genomics, blood biochemistry, cell culture and biomechanics.
