Biomedical Science

The BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science is developed with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, so modules are taught by university lecturers together with hospital-based scientists. Learners use research laboratories and clinical laboratories across Wales, working with flow cytometry, microscopy and molecular analysis equipment. Study builds analytical and laboratory competence, and a research methods module prepares students for their dissertation. The programme carries accreditation from the Institute of Biomedical Science, and students can become student members of that body. Graduates are prepared for scientific roles in hospital and research laboratories, as well as for postgraduate study and wider healthcare and research careers. Learners also gain confidence in interpreting laboratory data and writing up findings clearly for scientific readers. Work across hospital and university sites gives a realistic view of how diagnostic services operate.
