Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences (BSc)

Our BSc Honours Biomedical Science degree course appeals to students with a science background who are interested in a career in hospital laboratories, scientific research or further study.This is a dynamic course taught by enthusiastic lecturers and backed by experts in the field. Our labs and teaching rooms are new and built to our own specification to ensure that you have the best possible experience, and we have capped the number of students we take to ensure small classes receiving a personally tailored learning experience.The degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science, giving students a professional qualification that can take them onto a recognised career path.Middlesex recently opened its state-of-the-art bioanalytical laboratories for teaching and research. With investment totalling £3 million the facilities match, and in some cases surpass, those offered at UK medical schools.The labs provide the next generation of scientific instrumentation for molecular analysis, post the genomic era - in line with the new focus in scientific research on protein-hunting rather than gene-hunting.As well as being used by undergraduate and postgraduate students, they will be used by academic and research staff who continue to pioneer research particularly into developing affordable treatment for AIDS-related cancer patients in third world countries.Some of the main features of the new laboratories are:...

Artificial hip and knee joints, replacement blood vessels and heart valves, artificial teeth and fillings, contact lenses, modern drug delivery systems and tissue engineering are just a few of the growing number of applications of biomedical materials. This degree offers you the opportunity to gain a comprehensive background in the medical science and engineering of materials for repairing or replacing damaged, diseased or missing tissues in the human body.

The Biomedical Materials Science course is one of the few courses focussing equally on the biological and material sciences and our graduates, therefore, find career opportunities in a wide range of areas related to medical and dental sciences. “As long as humans cannot replace lost tissue like a salamander, the development of biomaterials and biomaterials-based tissue engineering scaffolds will be crucial for the well-being of an ageing population. Characterisation and development of novel biomaterials are what the Biomedical Materials Science course is about.” Dr Mike Hofmann, Biomaterials Researcher Also referred to as 'The Biomaterials Course', the programme is multidisciplinary and taught in several departments, including Dentistry, Medicine, and Metallurgy and Materials. The course is centred around the Biomaterials Unit one of the principal research units within the School of Dentistry, which links clinical work with both clinical and scientific research. Our state of the art laboratories are based at the brand new Dental Hospital.... [-]
