2. Biomedical Sciences MSc – structure
• One calendar year full-time (or can do part-time)
• Designed for those interested in biomedical science,
but not necessarily working in a hospital lab
• Sister MScs in Blood Sciences, Infection Sciences
and Cellular Sciences cater for hospital employees,
but Biomedical Science students can take most of
the same modules, except those requiring
employment in a hospital lab.
• Consists of a number of core modules, and a wide
range of option modules so the individual student
can tailor the degree to their own interests.

3. Biomedical Sciences MSc – modules
Core modules:
• Applied Molecular Biology
• Topics in Biomedical Science and Pharmacology
• Cell Path and specialist topics in Pathobiology
• Research Methods
• Project (60 credits)
Some options:
• Virology; Clinical Microbiology; Haematology; Clinical
Biochemistry; Clinical Immunology; Neurobiology;
Medical Genetics; Diabetes; Biomaterials; Oxidative
Stress; Biological Imaging; Lab Management

4. What can I do with this MSc afterwards?
• Valuable in a range of industries from
pharmaceutical to biotechnology companies –
gives an advantage over BSc graduates
• All or part (along with your BSc) can be used
towards state registration as a biomedical
scientist (but still have to do the portfolio etc)
• Can be used to help you gain a place as a PhD
student in the biomedical area
