Welcome
Why is Bradford a
good place to study?
The courses have specialisms
in Genetics, Blood Sciences,
Cellular Sciences and Infection
Sciences and are accredited by
both the Healthcare Science
Education and Training Board
(HCSETB) and subsequently by
Health Education England (HEE),
accredited by the Institute of
Biomedical Science (IBMS), and
approved by the Health and Care
Professions Council.
The courses have a strong
specialist work-based training
element in each year of study
which is integrated with the
academic content. Graduates from
this degree course will have a
comprehensive scientific education
coupled with technical skills
necessary for laboratory work.
The programmes are designed
to permit students to meet the
requirements of the HCSETB
and the IBMS Certificate of
Competence Registration
portfolio, and register with the
Health and Care Professions
Council as Biomedical Scientists
after graduation.
With excellent
links to the NHS,
this course has
built-in work
placements.
You will have frequent
meetings with your personal
tutor and placement
co-ordinator throughout the
degree programme, which
provide a mechanism to
support you and celebrate
your success. The high
standard of the student
experience results from the
close working relationship
of the academic staff, and
NHS laboratory staff. The
commitment of the staff to the
students and the Healthcare
Science (Life Sciences)
programme is outstanding and
has been commended by our
external examiners.
