The MSc Biomedical Science (Online) at Keele University is designed for ambitious professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of health and disease through a patient-oriented, case-study driven approach. You will explore core disciplines within a pathology laboratory, including clinical biochemistry, immunology, medical microbiology, haematology, and transfusion science. This programme equips you with the ability to critically evaluate laboratory tests and analyses, understanding their crucial role in disease diagnosis and monitoring. You will also investigate the broader clinical and research implications of biomedical science, preparing you for advanced roles in the field.
This online Master's degree is studied full-time over one year, offering flexibility for those balancing professional and academic commitments. You will engage with indicative content covering infectious disease, clinical biochemistry, immunology, medical microbiology, and haematology, alongside a significant research project. This project allows you to undertake independent research, potentially in collaboration with NHS providers or at your workplace, culminating in a presentation at a student conference. You will graduate with enhanced critical thinking, problem-solving, and autonomous learning skills, ready for career progression or further doctoral study.
