BSc in Biomedical Science
What is Biomedical Science?
Biomedical Science is a discipline allied to
medicine and studies the human body in both
health and disease.
Biomedical Scientists are highly trained and
skilled professionals who undertake laboratory
investigations to facilitate the diagnosis of human
health and disease. They provide vital information to
clinicians, which can influence patient management
and treatment. Biomedical Scientists are amongst
approximately 50,000 Health Care Scientists who
work predominantly in the NHS, often in core
Biomedical Science disciplines including Clinical
Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry, Haematology
and Blood Transfusion, and Cellular Pathology.
Many Biomedical Scientists also choose to work
outside of the NHS and use their skills in a broad
range of health-related institutions including
pharmaceutical and drug companies, universities
and Research Councils.
Why choose this degree?
ff Aston is ranked 1st out of 77 universities for
Subjects Allied to Medicine in the Times and
The Guardian League Tables 2011
ff Emphasis on biomedical and applied aspects
of biosciences
ff Accredited by the Institute of Biomedical
Science (IBMS)
ff Applied Biomedical Science with integrated
hospital placement approved by the Health
Professions Council (HPC)
The spectrum of duties undertaken by Biomedical
Scientists is therefore varied. In the clinical
environment for example, investigations range from
the diagnosis of disease to rehabilitation engineering.
Serious health conditions and potentially lifethreatening conditions including cancer, diabetes,
immunological disorders, leukaemia and infections
including meningitis, hepatitis and AIDS are just
some of the medical conditions they investigate.
Biomedical Scientists therefore form a vital
component within the NHS and health-related
institutions and without them many departments,
for example NHS Accident and Emergency and
operating theatres, would not be able to function.
The successful performance of this key role in
modern healthcare relies on the accuracy and
efficiency of investigations undertaken by Biomedical
Scientists. Patients’ lives and the treatment of illness’
depend upon their skill and knowledge.
Career prospects
Graduates in Biomedical Science leave the
University equipped with the essential
knowledge and skills required for a variety of
career opportunities.
Whilst some Biomedical Science graduates choose
to undertake careers as HPC-registered Biomedical
Scientists within the NHS, others will choose to
use their degree as a springboard into one of many
scientific or health-related careers including research,
pharmaceutics, medical journalism, teaching,
medical sales and marketing.

Biomedical Science BSc
honours degree: a qualification
for the future
A Biomedical Science degree offers a springboard
for graduates to work within the NHS and many
health-related institutions.
The Biomedical Science degree is accredited
by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
The IBMS was founded in 1912 and is the
professional body for Biomedical Scientists
in the United Kingdom. The Institute aims to
promote and develop Biomedical Science and
currently represents approximately 16,000
members. The aim of professional body’s
accreditation is to ensure that a high quality
degree is delivered, which equips the students
with modern professional skills and a sound
knowledge foundation necessary for suitable
employment in the dynamic profession of
Biomedical Science.
We currently offer a 3-year full-time route to
graduation in Biomedical Science, a four–year
option which includes an integrated one-year
hospital placement in the third year (Applied
Biomedical Science), and a four-year sandwich
option with a placement in an industrial or
research laboratory. All routes are fully accredited
by the IBMS.
Three-year full-time degree without
clinical placement
Four-year integrated degree with
clinical placement
The 3-year full-time degree in Biomedical Science
without a clinical placement may offer a more
favourable route to graduation for those students
who wish to study Biomedical Science but do not
necessarily wish to practice as Health Professions
Council (HPC) registered Biomedical Scientists
following graduation, e.g for those graduates wishing
to work in other health-related industries such as the
pharmaceutical industry. For those students who
opt for the 3-year full-time degree and subsequently
wish to practice as HPC-registered Biomedical
Scientists, an additional Certificate of Competence
awarded by the IBMS will need to be achieved
following graduation.
The integrated clinical placement takes place
between the second and final academic years in an
appropriate NHS laboratory. Students who gain such
a placement will transfer from the Biomedical Science
programme to the Applied Biomedical Science
programme at the end of year two. Please note the
availability of NHS placements is not guaranteed,
that they are currently limited in number and they are
allocated in competition. You will have to undergo an
enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check and
will have to pay for occupational health checks.
The clinical placement in the approved laboratory
allows students to complete the IBMS Training
and Registration portfolio in the third year of the
degree course. By undertaking this route, graduates
are eligible to apply to the HPC for registration as
Biomedical Scientists as soon as they receive their
University degree.
Placements on the 4-year Sandwich option in
Industrial or Research Laboratories are also available
but do not lead to eligibility to register with the HPC
on graduation.
To achieve the Certificate of Competence the
graduate must successfully complete the IBMS
training and registration portfolio in an approved
clinical laboratory. In this circumstance, the portfolio
will be issued to the graduate when subsequently
employed as a trainee within the laboratory. The
IBMS assesses competency of graduates to practice
against HPC Standards of Proficiency and awards
the certificate following successful submission of
the portfolio.

What is Biology?
Why choose this degree?
Programme Content
Biology, derived from the Greek words ‘bios’ (life)
and ‘logos’ (reasoned account) is the study of life,
from the simplest organism to the complexity of
the human species. It can be studied at several
levels ranging from molecular interactions at a
sub-cellular level to cellular interactions at a tissue
level, or even the interactions of whole organisms
at a population level.
ff Emphasis on human and applied aspects
of Biology
There are currently four BSc Honours programmes
available at Aston University which are offered as
3-year full-time degrees or as 4-year sandwich
degrees with an industrial placement. These modern
degree programmes are specifically designed to
promote an awareness of the application of biological
knowledge to human health and welfare, and to
equip students with the skills necessary to succeed
in a continually changing dynamic subject. The four
programmes are:
Biology therefore encompasses many academic
fields that may be regarded as individual disciplines.
For example, disciplines including microbiology,
immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology,
molecular genetics and cell biology study life at the
cellular and molecular level, whilst human evolution
and physiology explore life on a multicellular scale.
In combination, however, these disciplines intertwine
to form Biology, the scientific study of life, in both
health and disease.
ff Paid professional placement opportunities
in a wide range of health, medical and
commercial settings
ff Strong links with the industry
ff Top ten for Anatomy and Physiology in the
Guardian University Guide 2011
ff Consistently high levels of student satisfaction
according to the National Student Survey (NSS)
ff Cell and Molecular Biology
ff Strong record of graduate employment and
postgraduate research success for Aston
Biology students
ff Microbiology and Immunology

to be introduced in 2012. Transfer from existing
Biology programmes will be possible up to the
end of year 2 subject to performance.
Careers prospects
Graduate employment for Biology students
mirrors the success of Aston University as a whole.
We believe that the integration of our teaching
with research and a high standard of practical
tuition, coupled with the generic skills we impart,
enable our graduates to enter a wide range of
professional careers.
The University Careers Service provides
comprehensive support for all students past and
present who are seeking employment.
30-40% of our graduates go into research,
while others enter a wide range of careers in health,
welfare and the biological industries. In addition
to scientific positions some graduates enter
general management and personnel work as well
as product development and marketing.

ff Human Biology
After a common and broadly based first and second
year you will choose topics for specialisation in your
final year. In the first term of the final year you will
choose five modules to study in depth.
Students of Biological Sciences will have a wide
choice from amongst the final year modules listed
under Programme Content.
Human Biologists will concentrate on modules
such as Human Physiology, Stem Cell Biology and
Cancer Biology.
Students of Microbiology and Immunology will focus
on areas such as Immunology, Food Microbiology and
Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Disease.
Students of Cell and Molecular Biology will specialise
in modules such as Cell Biology, Applied Molecular
Biology and Cell Biology of Cancer Metastasis.
The second term is devoted to a research project
which is supervised by an individual member of the
academic staff.
Students on all Biology programmes can choose
to undertake a 3-year degree or a 4-year sandwich
degree with industrial placement.
The sandwich degree involves a 12-month
professional work placement between the second
and final years of the degree. This offers students
the opportunity to gain valuable experience and set
their studies in the context of a working environment
alongside professional biologists. Our recent
placements have been with research institutes,
breweries, the food industry, pharmaceutical
companies (e.g. AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline),
clinical trials, medical sales and biotechnology
companies. Students undertaking the sandwich
degree are often better organised, more confident
and motivated and have improved academic
performance when they graduate.
The Biology Placement Tutor will help you find a
suitable industrial placement and offer support and
advice if you choose to undertake the sandwich
degree option. Furthermore, during your placement
you will be visited by a designated member of the
academic staff on two occasions to discuss your
industrial experience.
