Biomedical scientists are leading the fight against disease and their work touches on the lives of virtually everyone in the UK.

Whether analysing blood samples, examining tissues at molecular level or monitoring the effects of a major virus, biomedical scientists’ results provide the basis for 70% of all diagnoses within the NHS.

Now is your chance to make a difference by joining the experts winning the battle against national and global health challenges. You could be working with real human cancer tissue to gain first-hand experience of what it is like to be a cancer scientist. After learning how to culture the cells, you will apply a particular treatment. You could also be investigating actual pathogens like E. coli or exploring how probiotics can help people lead healthier lives. Through your degree, you’ll be generating new knowledge for science.
