    Course Summary

    De Montfort University’s MSc program in the Biomedical Sciences is a great way to distinguish yourself from bachelor’s level graduates in this field, or to qualify for more responsible, better paid positions in your current career path. This degree program is fully accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science. It also allows HCPC registered biomedical scientists to qualify for higher level pathology posts.

    You’ll learn to design research programs, undertake them, and to present your findings formally. You’ll also be able to specialise your learning pathway to be more relevant to your current or aspiring career.

    This degree can be taken at full time (ideal for many new graduates) or over as many as three years on a part time basis. This lets you attend classes without interrupting your current career or risking the seniority you’ve already built up. Note that to take this course on a part time basis, you will need to demonstrate relevant professional experience.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This degree program is typically delivered over a single year, but can stretch to as many as 3 years if taken at part time around existing commitments or your current career.

    Semester 1

    Modules Include:

    • Advanced Pathobiology and Diagnostics

    This module delivers core biomedical laboratory skills.

    • Molecular Biology and Genomics

    You’ll learn to use the latest diagnostic techniques and understand the science behind them.

    • Evidence-Based Practice

    This module ensures the highest standards in best medical practice are followed.

    Semester 2

    Modules Include:

    • Research Methods and Biomedical Techniques

    In addition to conveying practical skills, you’ll prepare to conduct your Research Project.

    • Nutrition, Environment and Public Health

    You’ll learn how nutritional and environmental factors affect the public health.

    • Leadership and Quality Management

    This module equips you to lead teams in full compliance with standards.

    • Advanced Biotechnology

    You’ll explore the latest developments in the field and discuss their ethical implications.

    • Cancer Biology

    You’ll study the latest developments in cancer diagnosis, development and treatment.

    Semester 3

    Your final semester includes only a single core module – your Research Project and Dissertation.

    Learning & Teaching

    The content of this course is all delivered by experienced professionals in the field. This is a very technical course, and in addition to the standard array of lectures, tutorials and seminars you’ll do a great deal of learning in a laboratory setting. You’ll do plenty of work in groups, but you’ll also be encouraged to learn proactively and independently. You’ll also have extensive access to the university’s virtual learning environment.

    Career Possibilities

    You will have many career options after you graduate with your MSc in Advanced Biomedical Science. In particular, HCPC registered Biomedical Scientists will have enhanced opportunities in the pathology pathway. It does partially qualify new graduates to become HCPC registered biomedical scientists, though in addition to the degree you’ll need a period of training in a pathology laboratory. Other options include further study at the PhD or Research Degree level.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 1 year MSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned a 2:2 Honours degree in a relevant subject but other qualifications are also accepted. The full list of UK qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.5 overall with no sections scoring less than 6.0 would qualify, for example.
