Our Biomedical Science degree is a highly popular Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) accredited course, which applies biology based science for medical purposes.
This degree covers broad biological principles relating to the normal function of the human body, as well as providing up to date training in medical and disease related topics including pathophysiology, cell pathology, clinical immunology, haematology, microbiology and genetics.
