Program overview

At Brunel we recognise that strong practical skills in all fields of biomedical sciences are important to employers. For this reason we have a large practical element to the course. You’ll gain experience of different modern laboratory techniques and consider the legislative and ethical aspects linked to the discipline. You’ll learn computational skills and be trained on critical analyses of the molecular problems leading to human disease and to identify intervention opportunities. In addition, you’ll receive training in statistics and bioinformatics which are fundamental to the biomedicine sector. In our 'Scientific Communication' module you’ll learn how to disseminate medical information to a range of audiences. Your writing skills will be developed to target a diverse range of audiences, from medical practitioners through to the general public. You will learn to write your research findings in an academic style and a journalistic style - skills which will be invaluable in a range of biomedical careers. During your course you will be fully integrated within the Department of Biomedical Sciences and directly supervised by one of our academic staff. This means that you will benefit from the use of our well established biomedical facilities and be part of one of Brunel’s research teams. Working alongside Brunel’s academics, PhD students and other master’s students, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to publications in your field of interest. We are a research intensive Department and the majority of our academics are also part of the successful and rapidly expanding research in Brunel’s Institute of Environment, Health and Societies. Our academics have assisted governments with environmental and health policies, offered lung disease sufferers drug-free, medically proven treatments and helped consumers with food allergies make better choices. The practical research conducted at Brunel has helped millions of people worldwide lead healthier, happier lives.
