MSc Biomedical Science

This course builds specialist biomedical science skills, enabling practice at a higher specialist level. It was developed with the local health board and integrates the biology of disease with modern biomedical concepts. Students use advanced equipment and carry out laboratory investigations using sophisticated biomedical methods. They complete an independent research project and sharpen their analytical and research skills. Teaching combines academic staff and healthcare practitioners. The course carries IBMS accreditation, with a pathway towards HCPC registration. Students gain practical experience of advanced laboratory techniques and learn to interpret results critically, linking laboratory findings to the wider biology of disease. The project allows them to demonstrate independent research skills at a professional standard. Graduates are prepared for specialist laboratory practice. Students also gain confidence in presenting their findings.
