MSc, PGDip Biomedical Science (Blood Science)

Biomedical Science is a key subject area comprising of all aspects of health and disease, within the subject are clinical laboratory disciplines that specifically address the knowledge and understanding of disease processes in the context of the study and investigation of those processes. The MSc Biomedical Blood Science incorporates clinical biochemistry, immunology, hematology, and transfusion science. The School of Life Science has developed extremely active and successful undergraduate and postgraduate Biomedical Science programs. We have embraced specialists working in NHS Trusts and associated industries to develop outstanding, collaborative relationships covering key diagnostic and clinical specialties. Not only do students benefit from the inclusion of such specialist practitioners in our teaching programs, but input from employers also helps to shape the curriculum and can lead to highly competitive project opportunities working within related industries. This MSc program supports students to develop their subject-specific knowledge and understanding, ability to critically analyze and evaluate an evidence-based, work independently, and adapt to various contexts.
