Biomedical Science (Online) Keele University

Overview

This Biomedical Science (Online) programme from Keele University, explores health and disease from a patient or population-oriented, case-study driven perspective.

This multidisciplinary approach encourages you to think outside of the box to gain a more holistic level of understanding.

Programme content focuses on many of the core disciplines found within a typical Pathology Laboratory including;

• Medical Microbiology
• Virology
• Clinical Biochemistry
• Haematology
• Transfusion Science
• Clinical Immunology

You will explore the type of laboratory tests and analyses that take place in these key disciplines in addition to learning how to critically evaluate and assess each of the techniques and understand how they relate to the diagnosis and monitoring of disease states.

To widen your knowledge in the field, you will also investigate the clinical and research implications of Biomedical Science.

Career opportunities:

Our Biomedical Science MSc aims to equip you with the specialist knowledge and skills to pursue further study at doctoral level or enter a wide range of careers in the pharmaceutical industry, NHS, or research laboratories. You may decide to embark on a research career within academia, research institutes or industry.
