Master of Science - Biomedical Science - Cellular and Molecular Pathology

Coventry University (Part of Coventry University Group)

Specialist and senior biomedical scientists are key contributors to modern healthcare, including disease diagnosis, monitoring of therapy and research into disease mechanisms. They are in great demand both within the NHS and private hospital laboratories. There is a focus on developing laboratory and other scientific skills, giving students the opportunity to learn key experimental techniques and develop essential experimental, data handling and reporting skills required in biomedical, biological and other careers. The University's multi-million pound Alison Gingell Building features a suite of analytical and biological laboratories where students can gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge industry techniques. Other scientific skills, such as literature research, information technology, bioinformatics, data processing and the use of statistics are integrated within the course.

This course appeals to recent graduates who have progressed from an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science, as well as those who may be working as Biomedical Science practitioners. For those students on the course who are working as Specialist Biomedical Science practitioners, the course aims to provide a link to their Specialist portfolio training programme and provide professional development opportunities to enhance development into more senior roles.
