• Join one of the few Biomedical Science MSci course providers to offer a full-year final research project, allowing you to obtain greater practical and research skills. This will enhance your eligibility for subsequent PhD study or research posts.
• Have access to the specialist expertise in laboratory, epidemiological and clinical research which is available within both the University and St George’s Hospital.
• Have access to excellent facilities to help you develop strong research knowledge and skills, including cell and molecular biology techniques, microscopy, imaging and flow cytometry in our Imaging Research Facility (link to IRF), animal and cellular models of human disease and bioinformatics.
• Take part in extra-curricular activities including external seminars and visits to exhibitions and research centres
• Develop key transferrable skills including critical thinking, complex problem-solving, data analysis and application and communication skills. Our weekly small group problem-based teaching sessions are a valuable asset in improving these skills.
• Increase your employability further by opting to take an integrated Professional Training Year either in the UK or abroad within the commercial/biomedical industry sectors, research institutions, government bodies or the NHS.
• Be eligible for the same financial support throughout the course that you would be entitled to if you were studying an undergraduate degree – even though you will graduate with a Master’s level degree. This makes it a highly cost-effective option.
