Applied Biomedical Science

The aim of this module is to provide a fundamental introduction to cellular biology and the manner in which the functions of individual cells contribute to the overall function of a tissue in health and disease.

The aim of this module is to provide an education in the fundamental biochemical processes which occur in the cell. This will be underpinned by a thorough introduction into the relevant molecular biology of DNA, proteins and lipids.

This module aims to provide a broad spectrum of knowledge about microorganisms and their activities, which will provide a foundation for microbiology-related modules at levels 5 and 6.

In this module you will be taught the core skills and ethos which are central to the field of Biomedical Science.

This module will introduce you to both the structural organisation of the human body and how it is controlled.

This module will teach the essentials of genetics and molecular biology to allow the beginning of growth in understanding in these areas.

The aim of this module is to equip you with essential research skills and knowledge of methods and techniques that are routinely applied in biomedical research.

This module will provide an introduction into how biochemical markers can investigate the function and dysfunction of systems, organs and tissues and how this is applied to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

The aim of this module is to introduce the concepts of professional autonomy and accountability and to create an awareness of professional relationships within the hospital laboratory environment. You will develop the basic skills required for the application of practice as a Biomedical Scientist.

This module will provide an in-depth education into disease at the molecular level with particular emphasis on the preparation and observation of samples from organs, such as the liver, lung and the kidney in both normal and diseased states.

This module provides an introduction to the theoretical and practical concepts of medical microbiology and immunology. It will also provide an understanding of the principles and practices involved in the laboratory diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in humans.

In this module you will get an in-depth introduction to the basic structure and composition of the blood and the diseases that affect the circulatory system and how such diseases can be detected.

The aim is to provide students with an additional year of study at an approved overseas partner that will complement their programme at LJMU. This is an additional year of full-time study at an approved higher education institution. The modules to be studied must be agreed in advance, and must be appropriate for the student's programme of study. Assuming successful completion of this year, mark-bearing credit will be awarded by the Faculty Recognition Group. The grade conversion scale to be used will be made available in advance of the year abroad.

This module aims to provide students with the laboratory skills required to practise as a registered Biomedical Scientist and to provide students with the skills required to audit, reflect on, and review practice.

This module focuses on the increasingly important topic of medical and clinical genetics and will use real world examples and data analysis techniques used in the field.

In this module, your education continues in the field of immunology and microbiology as we now focus the knowledge gained at level 4 and 5 onto the clinical aspects of disease.

The Integrated Biomedical Science module allows you to understand, integrate and analyse the contribution of different lab and non-lab specialities in the investigation of disease and patient pathways.

The research project module will allow you to work closely with one of our academics in the conduction of a research project on a topic relevant to Biomedical Science.
