Graduate Diploma - Grad Dip
Summary
Whether you’re seeking to switch careers, pursue a long-held interest in biomedical research or wish to develop subject-specific knowledge and improve your language skills, our Graduate Diploma in Biomedical Science is specifically designed to prepare you for postgraduate study. With access to state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll spend a year engaged in tailored discipline-specific, pre-master’s study which will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to succeed at MSc level. On successful completion, you’ll transition directly onto our MSc Biomedical Science (Blood Science or Medical Microbiology) programmes, which are accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
**Why study this course?**
- Prepare to succeed at postgraduate study – bridge skills gaps, boost your confidence and develop core academic skills in research, analysis, critical thinking, writing and presentation
- Guaranteed progression on successful completion to MSc (Blood Science/Medical Microbiology), accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science
- £45m investment in state-of-the-art science facilities which feature fluorescence microscopes, electron microscopes and tools for molecular biology
- Keele has long-established expertise in infectious diseases and conducts research in collaboration worldwide networks including ECLIPSE and Target Malaria
- Engage with world-class researchers and biomedical scientists with expertise in parasitology, bacteriology and virology
If you graduated in a different science or non-science subject, with a lower class science degree, or wish to improve your English, study, research and presentation skills, this Graduate Diploma provides additional support and extra time to prepare for fast-paced postgraduate study in the area of biomedical science.
Comprising of all aspects of human health and disease, biomedical science is one of the broadest areas of modern science and medicine. By developing new treatments and uncovering new knowledge which can save and improve lives, it is arguably one of the most important too.
The School of Life Sciences is recognised nationally and internationally for its excellence in research and teaching with all of its programmes accredited either by the Royal Society for Biology and/or the IBMS. It has developed strong collaborative relationships with a range of diagnostic and clinical specialists who currently work in NHS Trusts and associated industries. These specialist practitioners not only help shape the curriculum to ensure you graduate with the skills and knowledge real employers need, but also provide valuable contributions to our teaching.
**About Keele**
Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.
We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.
Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.

Entry requirements | Applicants are expected to have successfully completed a Life Sciences Bachelor degree programme. Applicants who do not meet this criteria may still be eligible for admission if they can demonstrate appropriate qualifications and/or experience. Applicants who do not have English as their first language must evidence an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no less than 6.0 in Reading and Writing subtests and 5.5 in Listening and Speaking subtests. All non-native English speaking students are required to undertake a diagnostic English language test on arrival, to determine whether English language support may help them succeed with their studies. Students identified as requiring further systematic enhancement of their academic English skills will be enrolled on an English for Academic Purposes (EAP 1,2 or 3) module in addition to their 90 study credits. The results for the EAP module will not form part of the overall award but successful completion is required for progression to the master's programme. |
