Overview

At some point in our lives we all benefit from Biomedical Science. For example, through the screening of patients, the diagnosis of disease and evaluation of the effectiveness of a treatment; or research to develop new healthcare technologies, diagnostic tests and treatments for disease; or development and processing of drugs utilising cell culture technologies; or education; or scientific writing.

The overall purpose of this Applied Medical Sciences (Joint Ulster - ATU Sligo award) (Online) (Hons) course at the Atlantic Technological University is to provide an academically challenging and vocationally relevant science education for those secondary education qualified scientists and technologists working in a clinical healthcare setting or the medical biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries or other areas of biomedical sciences, producing competent graduates to meet national needs in Ireland and UK.

Career Opportunities

You will enhance your prospects for promotion within your existing work place, and be able to secure professional roles with other employers of clinical and industrial biomedical scientists, and more broadly in the area of analytical science. The industrial focus of the courses aim to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the critical aspects of Biopharmaceutical Processing and Support Services, with specific focus on the product lifecycle of Biological products and associated processes. There is also sufficient flexibility to allow you to move laterally into associated careers including Research and Development opportunities.

If you are a Healthcare Science assistant in the UK, the Ulster award is designed to meet the academic requirements of the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) to facilitate professional registration. Furthermore, if you have the support of your employer to assess you against the required portfolio of IBMS practice competencies, you will then after graduation be in a position to apply for registration as a Biomedical Scientist by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
