De Montfort University (DMU) Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree Diploma

De Montfort University’s (DMU) Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Science (B940) is a dynamic, IBMS-accredited program designed to equip students with advanced skills in healthcare and research. Offered at DMU’s Leicester campus, this 3-year full-time or 4-year placement-inclusive degree (360 credits) prepares graduates for impactful careers in biomedical science.

The curriculum emphasizes cutting-edge scientific investigation, covering topics like infectious diseases, cancer, and molecular biology. Students develop analytical and practical skills through hands-on laboratory work, exploring human health from organ systems to clinical diagnostics. The program includes core modules, elective specializations, and a final-year independent research project, allowing focus on areas like Alzheimer’s or Zika virus. An optional placement year in clinical or industry settings enhances employability and eligibility for Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration, essential for NHS biomedical scientist roles.

DMU’s block teaching approach fosters focused learning, supported by modern laboratories and expert faculty. Entry requires 112 UCAS points, including Biology or Chemistry at A-level (grade C or above), or equivalent qualifications like BTEC (DMM in Science). Tuition fees for 2025/26 are £9,535 (UK) and £16,750 (international). Graduates are prepared for careers in healthcare, research, or further study, with 70% of NHS diagnoses relying on biomedical science expertise.
