About Biomedical Science in University of Salford

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. Your studies will be complemented by visits to local pathology laboratories and the contribution of external NHS specialists and biomedical scientists, with whom we have strong long lasting links.

This course is structured to take account of the integrated and multidisciplinary nature of biomedical science. In the early stages you will acquire a broader understanding of the normal functioning of the body to prepare you for the later introduction of more specialised medical and pathological aspects related to human disease. There are a range of module options that can be taken in your second and third year according to your interests.
