Biomedical Science (Hons)

You'll learn from enthusiastic academic and professional staff, including experienced lecturers and practitioners who have worked as Biomedical Scientists within the NHS, bringing real-world insights to your learning. These dedicated staff members will provide continuous support throughout your studies. Many of our lecturers are research-active, exploring and contributing to the latest biomed developments. Their expertise is demonstrated first-hand through published research findings and presentations at national and international conferences. Furthermore, in your final year, you'll have the exciting opportunity to join a research team to undertake your dissertation. Our strong links with local hospitals and NHS pathology labs will further enhance your understanding of the profession through practical, real-world experience. Through our collaboration with BioGrad, you will also have the opportunity to attend a laboratory skills bootcamp at the end of your course. This also allows you to start fostering a professional network of industry contacts, opening doors to a variety of careers, both within and beyond traditional science roles, such as exploring disease mechanisms, delving into cell biology, or contributing to medical writing. New for 2025/26, Medical Science will have its own dedicated dissertation and research laboratories at Bache Hall, located on the Countess of Chester Hospital site. Alongside these specialist laboratory facilities, students will benefit from a dedicated learning space and a comfortable touchdown area for study and collaboration. Bache will be the home of Medical Science, offering a vibrant environment that strengthens our links with healthcare and research partners.
