    Course Summary

    Today’s healthcare teams couldn’t operate effectively without Biomedical Scientists to help them diagnose diseases, determine the effectiveness of different treatment options, and explore what causes diseases and illnesses in the first place.

    Getting an MSc in Biomedical Science from the University of Chester is the perfect way to explore an exciting career in the biomedical sciences at a higher, responsible level. You’ll learn evidence based practice skills at the highest level, and prepare yourself for your Research Dissertation.

    As this subject is regulated by the IBMS on behalf of the Health and Care Professions Council, much of the curriculum is compulsory. That ensures that you’ll gain the skills you need to operate within this vital field effectively. However, this course also allows you to prepare yourself for your chosen specialty and career pathway. It also lets you explore some of your own personal interests, socially at the research level.

    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.
