MSc Advanced Biomedical Science

The MSc Advanced Biomedical Science course taught at Teesside University is a master’s degree that helps students deepen their knowledge of how disease works, how diagnostics improve, and how science and medicine interact. It gives technical, analytical, and research skills. Students learn about molecular biology, genomics, biochemistry, disease mechanisms, and diagnostic techniques. They also conduct a major research project under supervision. The course runs full-time for one year or part-time for about two years. Start terms are usually in September, January, or May, depending on student status.

Core modules include Advanced Biological Aspects of Diseases, Analytical Techniques, Clinical Biochemistry and Diagnostic Techniques, Genomics and Bioinformatics, and a Life Science Research Project. Additional modules include Pathobiology of Infectious Diseases and Pathobiology of Neurological Diseases. Students are taught using lectures, lab practicals, seminars, workshops, and research supervision. Assessments include in-course assignments, lab reports, exams, oral presentations, technical reports, literature reviews, and the independent research project. Students are assessed on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
