Location of Glasgow Caledonian University
As an integral part of a team in today's modern medical environment, a biomedical scientist working in a hospital laboratory carries out tests on specimens sent by GPs and other health care professionals, the results of which enable doctors to accurately diagnose and treat patients.
At Glasgow Caledonian University we offer the only Biomedical Science programme with placement in the city of Glasgow, which is approved by the Health Professions Council (HPC) and accredited by the Insitute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
Your studies will provide the knowledge and skills needed to undertake the key role of a biomedical scientist, including cellular pathology, clinical biochemistry, haematology, and clinical microbiology.
A key strength of the Applied Biomedical Science programme is the work-based placement. This placement takes place in Scottish hospitals, rooted in the clinical disciplines in which a Biomedical Scientist would work.
A student on the Biomedical Science degree programme will complete an alternative study plan in Year 3 with traning element completed post-graduation. Both routes lead to registration with the Health Professions Council (HPC).
The majority of graduates from this programme will go on to work in the NHS or other health-related industries following career paths in clinical chemistry; cytology; haematology; histology; immunology; medical microbiology; transfusion science; and virology.
Our graduates are highly regarded and keenly sought after by prospective employers.
