Program overview

A three year honours degree in laboratory science, covering human physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, clinical laboratory technique and a research project.

Biomedical science is the standard academic route toward British hospital laboratory work, but registration is a separate step this degree does not itself provide.
