Educational Aims of the Course
All programmes within the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences aim to provide graduates with a wide knowledge and understanding of core subject matter, thus Biomedical Science aims to provide graduates with an understanding of laboratory-based investigation of human health and disease.
To provide a programme that is recognised and accredited by the IBMS for the completion of the Certificate of Competence Portfolio.
To provide the students with vocationally orientated skills to equip them for a career in biomedical science.
To develop study, information technology (IT) and communication skills to enable students to participate in lifelong learning.
To provide the student with skills in independent research to enable them to undertake relevant postgraduate study.
To develop transferable skills to enable students to enter non-subject specific employment at graduate level.
To encourage students to fully engage with the employability aims of the programme.
In addition to the aims for the main target award, the aim of the sandwich year is to provide students with an extended period of work experience at an approved partner that will complement their programme of study at LJMU. This will give the students the opportunity to develop professional skills relevant to their programme of study, as well as attitude and behaviours necessary for employment in a diverse and changing environment.
