Our courses are offered on a modular basis; individual modules can be taken for continuing professional development (CPD) purposes and a Masters can be achieved by credit accumulation over a period of up to six years. In order to enable NHS employees to attend, teaching is delivered in a block on Mondays between the hours of 3pm and 8pm* over a ten-week period.
Please note that the information in this section relates to the MSc pathway. Please contact us for details of the Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate pathways.
Biomedical Science
MSc course pathways: MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert – Cellular Pathology MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert – Clinical Biochemistry MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert – Haematology with Hospital Transfusion Practice
MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert – Medical Microbiology
This suite of IBMS-accredited (Institute of Biomedical Science) MScs, Postgraduate Diplomas and Postgraduate Certificates has been developed in collaboration with practising biomedical scientists for biomedical and clinical scientists working in NHS laboratories in the eastern region.
Our courses are primarily aimed at students who are practising biomedical scientists in one of the four fields listed above. They are designed to offer this group of health professionals the chance to develop their skills and enhance their careers. For career progression, biomedical scientists must attain academic knowledge through a postgraduate qualification.
Students on our biomedical science courses will normally be employed as biomedical scientists at the time of admission to their course.

What will I learn? Each course features two discipline-specific modules, delivered by a number of specialist lecturers brought in from the NHS on a part-time basis, eg clinicians and senior biomedical scientists, with contributions from University staff. In addition, you will undertake a series of generic modules, common to all MSc courses, including two modules in modern techniques, giving you the opportunity to gain practical experience of the latest modern techniques in biomedical science and learn how these might be used in a clinical setting.
