How will I be assessed? Some taught modules are assessed by means of coursework (weighted 50 per cent) and a three-hour written examination (weighted 50 per cent) which takes place in May or June. Other taught modules are assessed by means of coursework only.
How much will it cost? Please contact us for details of the tuition fees.
Is there funding available? The modules contributing to our Masters courses are included in the University’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) portfolio. Funding might be available from your employer and the NHS East of England.
What career opportunities are there? All practising biomedical scientists must be registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC). As a condition of HPC registration all members of the registered workforce have to provide evidence that they participate in a CPD scheme. Those who obtain a Masters via credit accumulation will have the chance to progress with their career as such a qualification is a requirement for moving into more senior positions within the NHS.
In addition, such a qualification is considered as one of the entry criteria for the IBMS’s Higher Specialist Examination and award of the higher specialist diploma. Those awarded a Masters accredited by the IBMS are eligible for the title of Chartered Scientist, provided they meet the other eligibility criteria.
