About Healthcare Science (Life Sciences), BSc (Hons) - at The University of Bradford

The BSc (Hons) in Healthcare Science takes a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human disease.

It examines the causes of disease, and the effects of disease on the normal structure and functions of the human body. You’ll gain a firm understanding of the scientific basis for laboratory investigation, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease.

The programme also develops and applies new technologies that help improve patient care.

You can choose from four specialist pathways:

Genetics

Cellular Sciences

Infection Sciences

Blood Sciences

Each pathway offers a specialist work-based training placement in each year of study, which is integrated with the academic content. This provides invaluable applied experience, developing your skills and boosting your employability.

On graduation you’ll be able to practice as a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist in NHS Pathology laboratories.

You'll be charged interest on your loan as soon as you take it out, but you only start repayments once you earn more than a certain amount - currently £21,000.

Repayments are based on how much you earn, not how much you've borrowed.
