The MSc Biomedical Science programme has been developed in the light of experience with<br />

the highly successful MSc/PgD Biomedical Science programmes which have been operating for<br />

many years.<br />

The programme is designed to cover the main aspects of Biomedical Science pertinent to health care<br />

laboratory-based services and includes; Cellular Pathology, Clinical Biochemistry, Haematology and Medical<br />

Microbiology. The modular system involves teaching of certain modules with relevance to different<br />

traditional disciplines in line with current concepts of health care provision. The research project is carried<br />

out in conjunction with the sponsoring laboratory; consequently applicants to the programme of study must<br />

be employed as Biomedical Scientists in a clinical laboratory.<br />

The minimum qualifications for entry to the programme are as follows:<br />

• an accredited Honours degree in Biomedical Science<br />

• an Honours degree supplemented with IBMS approved undergraduate modules.<br />

The approved MSc Biomedical Science programme provides a solid foundation for hospital laboratory-based<br />

jobs and is required for membership of the Institute of Biomedical Science.<br />
