Course content

This course is designed for those following careers as biomedical

scientists in the wider context of biomedical science (including

biopharmaceutical and bio-industries). The MSc Biomedical

Science provides eligibility for the title of chartered scientist if

the individual meets the other eligibility criteria of corporate

membership of the IBMS and active engagement in continued

professional development (CPD). It is not a suitable qualification

for the purposes of Health and Care Professions Council

registration in the UK. This course provides an academically

challenging and vocationally relevant science education

for those wishing to develop their career in the biosciences,

pharmaceutical or bio-industries. Students can take specialisms

in: cellular pathology; clinical chemistry; haematology; and

medical microbiology. The course is completely online. The

project is carried out in the students’ place of work under a workbased-

supervisor. Suitably qualified graduates may also choose

to proceed to higher postgraduate degree programmes within

the biosciences.

Academic IELTS 6.0 (with no band score less than 5.5), or a Trinity ISE Pass at level III.
