Healthcare Science (life Sciences) Bsc (hons) in University of Bradford

Overview

The BSc (Hons) in Healthcare Science takes a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human disease.

It examines the causes of disease, and the effects of disease on the normal structure and functions of the human body. You’ll gain a firm understanding of the scientific basis for laboratory investigation, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease.

The programme also develops and applies new technologies that help improve patient care.

In year 3, you will specialise in one of the following pathways:

• Genetics
• Cellular Sciences
• Infection Sciences
• Blood Sciences

Each pathway contains a work-based training placement, which is integrated with the academic content. This provides invaluable applied experience, developing your skills and boosting your employability. Every effort will be made to accommodate your preference of specialist pathway. This is, however, dependent on placement provision available at the time.

On graduation you’ll be able to practice as a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist in NHS Pathology laboratories.

Learning and assessment

A wide range of teaching methods are used to deliver the programme, which include a combination of blended learning undertaken mainly on campus.

To accommodate both the academic requirements and work-based training, the programme will require extended periods of study in years 1 and 2, beyond the standard 30 weeks.

All students have three semesters of study, with semester 3 being the work-based learning opportunity.

A number of self-directed components of Work Based Learning (WBL) is carried out whilst working in the placement laboratory, alongside the development of the Institute’s registration training portfolio.

Career prospects

Graduates can practise as a Healthcare Science Practitioner in NHS laboratories.

Alternatively, you could find employment as a laboratory-based or non-laboratory-based scientist in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or other related industries, academic research and teaching.
