About this course

This flexible integrated master's in biomedical sciences (MSci) focuses on the exploration and understanding of human disease at all levels. It combines biochemistry, physiology, neuroscience, cell biology, genetics and pharmacology. As you progress you can tailor your studies to focus on the areas that most interest you.

Biomedical science provides advances in vital areas, including:

  • investigating potential treatments for Alzheimer’s disease
  • finding the causes of cystic fibrosis
  • improving our understanding and treatment of cancer

On our biomedical sciences master's degree, you'll benefit from our research-rich environment. We're home to the UK's first Cancer Immunology Research Centre and we're a lead university of the Biofilms Institute.

As part of this course you can:

  • develop the vital skills required for advanced biomedical research
  • build advanced knowledge in specific areas of biomedical sciences
  • work alongside our research staff on 2 independent research projects
  • spend a semester studying at a university in Europe or Australasia
  • gain valuable experience from a year in employment
  • develop sought-after transferable skills

This course is part of our Innovation Curriculum, so you'll have the option to take some modules from other subject areas.

Practicals which use animals or their tissues are an important part of the course. These practicals follow ethical policies and we'll make adjustments for you if you have valid concerns about taking part.

We regularly review our courses to ensure and improve quality. This course may be revised as a result of this. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Find out why, when, and how we might make changes.

Our courses are regulated in England by the Office for Students (OfS).
