About this programme

Our BSc Biomedical Science degree is designed in collaboration with Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board (BCUHB) – NHS Wales. Hence, the course will be delivered by university academics and hospital-based biomedical scientists. In year one, we will provid e you with a solid foundation and introduction to the broad disciplines that underpin the subject of biomedical science, resulting in a strong understanding of the subject. Year two of the course largely comprises specialist modules to give you the necessary knowledge in key areas of biomedical science. You will also be introduced to research methodology and will have the opportunity to design and carry out a mini project, preparing you for the final year project . The final year of study focusses upon topics at the forefront of current research in biomedical science and will further develop your critical and analytical skills. A significant part of the final year is a 40-credit research project in which you will carry out an independent piece of research in an area of special interest to you.
