About

Enhance your career opportunities and develop your knowledge and skills of life sciences focusing on human health, disease pathophysiology, emerging diagnostics, therapeutics and state-of-the-art research with the Advanced Biomedical Science MSc/PGDip/PGCert programme at De Montfort University.

Overview

Key features

The Advanced Biomedical Science MSc/PGDip/PGCert programme offered at De Montfort University explores the contemporary understanding of disease pathophysiology, current and emerging diagnostic procedures and aspects of therapy.

This course will provide you with an enhanced portfolio of knowledge and skills relevant to the practice of a senior biomedical scientist in healthcare, academia, research, industry and other sectors. Benefit from the opportunity to tailor the course content specifically to your career interests by choosing optional modules in areas such as Cancer Biology, Nutrition, Environment and Public Health and Advanced Biotechnology.

During this course you will increase your interaction with other healthcare professionals and enhance your transferable skills with teaching from a team of experienced practice-based academic staff and researchers, some of whom have come from dedicated research institutions and have ongoing research projects while others are practitioners with extensive hospital laboratory experience.

Potential Careers:

  • This course will enhance career prospects for graduates of Biomedical Science or other bioscience disciplines, and will enable HCPC registered biomedical scientists to increase their opportunities for progression within pathology services.
  • Please be aware that the course by itself does not qualify you for registration as a biomedical scientist. In the UK registration with the HCPC requires evidenced training in a pathology laboratory as well as a relevant degree.
  • Many of our recent graduates have also progressed on to postgraduate research courses, leading to PhD or professional doctorates in Biomedical Science.
