Description
Our integrated Master’s in Biomedical Sciences with Professional Training Year is aimed at aspiring researchers and those seeking a career in science. This five-year undergraduate course enables you to explore the current frontiers of knowledge in your chosen field and provides training in advanced research techniques.
Biomedical science is the science that underpins medicine and medical research. Our Biomedical Sciences degree takes a broad approach giving you the option to study a wide range of subjects subjects including human physiology; human anatomy; disease processes and their treatment; biochemistry; genetics and microbiology. The curriculum is informed by the extensive range of biomedical research undertaken within the School of Biosciences and at the University Hospital of Wales, enabling you to receive training in contemporary topics such as cancer biology, stem cells, tissue engineering, gene therapy and neurodegenerative diseases.
Your third year is spent on a professional work placement related to your degree. Experience shows that this greatly enhances your subsequent employment prospects.
This course will enable you to increase your scientific understanding, as well as developing both your academic skills (critical appraisal, evaluation and analysis of dats) and practical, presentation and written skills. Ultimately, we aim to produce graduates who are employable, well-informed, versatile and enthusiastic ambassadors for science.
The knowledge and skills that you develop during the MBiomed course will make you employable in a broad range of careers within biomedical science including research, healthcare, publishing and teaching. The skills acquired on the course are also an excellent grounding for many other career paths outside of science. Alternatively you may wish to further your studies with a higher degree.
