    institution

    University of Cumbria

    The University of Cumbria got its start as a variety of regional institutions, including Charlotte Mason’s Teacher Training College, founded in the 1890s and the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts, which dates back to 1822. These institutions left a long legacy, eventually evolving into the colleges which merged to form the University […]

    Course Summary

    The University of Cumbria’s BSc program in the Biomedical Sciences is ideal for students with a good understanding of basic mathematics, biology and the other sciences and who wants to learn more about the science which underlies medicine and modern clinical practice.

    Clinical scientists help doctors to diagnose and treat diseases in 2 ways, first by performing the tests and investigations which confirm the presence of toxins or disease agents in patient samples, but also by refining the procedures by which these tests are done or by devising completely new tests and procedures.

    You’ll learn both in the University of Cumbria’s world class lecture halls and in their new laboratory space, only recently constructed at a cost of more than £3.5 million. This will allow you to gain a practical, working experience of clinical biochemistry, clinical genetics, haematology and cellular pathology, just to name a few of the subjects you’ll study.

    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.

    This program is typically delivered over three years at full time.

    The first two years will be focused on introductory modules which make these complex and fascinating disciplines more approachable. You’ll also explore interesting subjects like the immune system, the human body’s biochemical makeup, molecular genetics and cellular pathology.

    In your final year you’ll explore the immune system in greater depth, as well as the blood sciences. You’ll also be able to select optional modules which appeal to your interests and intended career path. That might mean building an expertise in advanced genetics, parasitology, toxicology or something else entirely.

    Learning & Teaching

    The curriculum of the University of Cumbria’s courses will include all of the expected teaching methods, most notably large scale lectures, guest speakers or presentations, peer review on coursework, interactive seminars, skills workshops, work placement, case studies and extensive use of the university’s Virtual learning Environment. Of course, you will learn a wide range of laboratory skills as well, gaining familiarity with the equipment which is likely to be a large part of your career.

    Career Possiblities

    Cumbria’s academic programs are all designed to make you a highly employable graduate. In the case of their Biomedical Science BSc degree, that means making you a top of the line laboratory technician as well as giving you a very deep understanding of the human body and its systems.

    You can improve your employability with the Career Ahead employability program. This is provided at no charge by the Careers Team, and will give you several competitive advantages when it comes time to look for your first few roles.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a full BSc degree.

    Students must typically have been awarded 96-120 UCAS Tariff Points to apply. The full list of accepted 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. A good IELTS score would qualify, for example.
