Career
The MSci Biomedical Science will provide enhanced experience and skills transferable to employment or further study, equipping students to apply for PhD courses or research posts in industry. In addition, the generalist research skills gained, in addition to the advanced science, will be advantageous for many non-science careers.
The Biomedical Science MSci is subject to re-accreditation by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). This ensures that the academic content of the course meets the standards of proficiency for the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC regulates standards for a variety of health professions, including that of Biomedical Scientist. Registration with the HCPC requires additional postgraduate experience in an appropriate lab environment.
