Course content
This MSc is principally aimed at Biomedical Scientists with some work experience in a healthcare setting. You may be working in a hospital’s clinical laboratory or for an independent organisation in bio-pharmaceuticals or bio-industries, be it as an Analytical Chemist, a Clinical Scientist, Forensic Scientist, Microbiologist, Toxicologist or in an associated field.
You will study six modules plus a Research Project. This programme can be completed in a minimum of two years. Students have the opportunity to pause their studies if their work or life commitments require.
Depending on your career plans and your area of specialisation, you will be asked to choose between the Quality Management module and the Biomedical Informatics module.
You will be looking to develop skills in one of the following key areas: Cellular Pathology, Clinical Chemistry, Haematology or Medical Microbiology (each of which is an optional module on this course). All students will then undertake a hands-on Research Project in their own place of work.
