Biomedical Science Clearing places
On our biomedical science Clearing courses you’ll learn how to apply the principles of biology for medical purposes. Our degree programmes are designed to help you develop the lab skills needed to become a highly employable biomedical scientist – or embark on a career in medical laboratory research.
If you secure one of our biomedical science Clearing places, you will study in our state-of-the-art, £3 million Bodmer Laboratories. Your studies will also be complemented by visits to local pathology laboratories, with advice from leading biomedical scientists and NHS professionals.
At Salford, we welcome you into a supportive environment where you are a name, not a number. You will benefit from small group teaching and one-to-one support from your course tutors, providing you with the chance to learn from active research staff.

What do UCAS clearing Biomedical Science courses involve?
If you choose to study one of our biomedical science courses in Clearing, your first year will be focused on developing your understanding of human biological processes, whilst also introducing you to laboratory techniques.
As your studies progress, you will have the freedom to choose from a range of modules – from human physiology to haematology and pathophysiology. You will also find out what is required to become a registered biomedical scientist.
In your third year of study, your laboratory and academic skillsets will be tested in the form of a final year project. You will select an area of biomedical science and work with leading academics and technicians in the laboratories of Salford’s Biomedical Research Centre.
Karolina's story
Karolina, who's studying our BSc (Hons) Human Biology and Infectious Diseases degree, tells us why she chose to study at Salford:
“I have always been fascinated by the human body. I want to know every process, structure, function and fault. I fell in love with Salford during an Open Day, and I admire how big its reputation is becoming. My lecturers are incredibly supportive and, if you’re a dedicated student, they will recommend you for opportunities that will make you stand out from the crowd. After completing my course, I am considering either a physician associate position or a PhD on either microbiology or pathophysiology – there are so many opportunities available to me because of this course!”
