Applied Biomedical Science/Biomedical Science

Biomedical scientists carry out laboratory tests on specimens sent for analysis by GPs and other healthcare professionals.

Biomedical Science is vital for the clinical diagnosis of disease and accurate treatment of patients and the operation of the NHS and other health-related industries.

We offer the only Biomedical Science course with placement in Glasgow that is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and accredited by the Institute  of Biomedical Science (IBMS).The Biomedical Science course is also accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.

You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to become a biomedical scientist, including cellular pathology, clinical biochemistry, haematology, and clinical microbiology. A key strength of the course is a work-based placement in a Scottish hospital by selection. International students are not eligible for consideration for placement.
