Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biomedical Science by Coventry University (MDIS)

Programme Objectives

Biomedical Scientists play a vital role in the diagnosis and prevention of disease and the monitoring of treatment. The Biomedical Science degree is a broad based science degree which aims to integrate a wide range of subjects to promote understanding of the biology of disease. The required core subject areas are therefore human biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology and immunology, numeracy, statistics and computing and a broad coverage of instrumentation and analytical techniques encompassing separation techniques, identification and quantitation procedures.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion, students should be able to demonstrate a critical appreciation of:

• the biology of disease and the factors and processes which contribute to human health and disease
• the specialist disciplines in biomedical science and their application to the laboratory- based study of disease and disease diagnosis
• practical problems in biomedical science
• the professional standards and responsibilities of an HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist
