    Manchester Metropolitan University

    Manchester Metropolitan University has nearly 200 years of history behind it. Several schools opened in Manchester in the 1800s which would come together to form MMU – Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, Manchester School of Design in 1838, the School of Education in 1878, the School of Domestic Science in 1880 and the School of […]

    Course Summary

    An MSc in Biomedical Science from Manchester Metropolitan University is an opportunity to learn a great deal more than you already know about the life sciences and how they relate to human health, illness and healing. You’ll gain a broad understanding of the discipline, but you’ll also be able to found a specialty within it. Lastly, you’ll deliver an independent research project based on that specialty.

    You’ll learn the specific ways that diseases and disease processes are based on biological principles. You’ll develop your research and analysis skills, both generally and within your field of special focus. When it is time to conduct your research project, you’ll have the opportunity to work in conjunction with a range of hospitals in the Greater Manchester area. Academic staff will help you find one whose focus is relevant to your particular study, or help you conduct your project entirely within the university.

    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

    Core Modules:

    • Advanced Biological Aspects of Disease

    You’ll explore Reproductive Health, Cancer Biology, Immunology, Medical Genetics and Infectious Diseases generally.

    • Analytical Techniques in Biomedical Science

    You’ll learn about the techniques that underlie modern biomedical analysis. These will include Molecular Techniques, Mass spectrometry, Flow Cytometry, Electrophoresis, Chromatography and more.

    • Disorder Case Study

    You will make a systematic study of a particular disorder. Not only will it make you more familiar with the disorder itself, it will teach you to create a professional case study.

    • Recent Advances in Biomedical Research

    This is a largely self-directed module where you will choose a topic currently being researched at the university, and explore it with the aid of an academic supervisor.

    • Research Methods and Ethics in Biomedical Science

    This module will give you the research and presentation skills you’ll need to create your research project proposal.

    • Research Project

    This will consist of independent research related to your specialty, interests and intended career path.

    Optional Modules (typical examples only):

    • Clinical Haematology
    • General Clinical Biochemistry
    • Human Infectious Disease
    • Transfusion 1

    Learning & Teaching

    This MSc program includes a range of core and elective modules. Each one will be taught using methods that are best suited to the subject matter. Class size will typically be small, and tutorials or seminar format classes will be more common than large lectures.  The majority of your learning time – as much as 85% of it – will be spent in independent study. 80% of your marks will be based on your coursework.

    Career Possiblities

    Biomedical Scientists have a wide range of career options. Some go into Hospital science. Others choose careers in the biotech, Biomedical or Pharmaceutical industries. This degree program prepares you to take the Biomedical Science Higher Specialist Examination if you so choose. Alternatively, you could focus on research and go on to get your PhD degree at MMU or elsewhere. The School of Healthcare Science and the University Careers Service can both give you advice on your options.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 1 year MSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have a 2:1 honours degree in a biomedical or biological science, or its international equivalent. The full list of national and international qualifications accepted can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in the English language.
