Offer Holder Events

Discover Lancaster University for yourself at one of our events exclusively for Biomedical Science and Biomedicine offer holders and their guests.

  • Saturday 8 February
  • Saturday 22 February
  • Saturday 15 March
  • Saturday 5 April

These events are a chance to experience our friendly and inclusive teaching environment first-hand. You’ll get to know our Biosciences team and current students through subject talks, taster sessions and informal chats over a complimentary lunch.

At your Offer Holder Event, you will:

  • Learn more about the structure of your degree and our approach to teaching and learning
  • Experience life as a Biomedical Science or Biomedicine student through a hands-on laboratory taster session
  • Have the opportunity to chat with current students and staff, and find out answers to any questions you may have

Once you have received an offer to study Biomedical Science or Biomedicine, you will be emailed a unique booking link to the email address used on your UCAS application. If you have any questions, or haven't received your personal booking link, please email us.

Our flexible Biomedicine and our IBMS-accredited Biomedical Science degree courses are aimed at those with a broad interest in human life processes and disease and give you the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the techniques and issues associated with modern biomedical research.

Why Lancaster?

In joining Lancaster, you will become a part of our Biosciences community in a highly ranked department (3rd in the UK for Biomedical Sciences, The Guardian University Guide 2025).

Biomedicine is at the heart of modern medical and health research. Taught by internationally renowned academics, along with clinical and biomedical staff from local hospitals, you will focus on key aspects of modern-day biomedicine with an emphasis on the molecules and mechanisms fundamental to life processes and how these are disrupted by disease.

World-class facilities

Our teaching laboratories are at the centre of your degree. They are where you will put into practice, and test your knowledge, from lectures and tutorials; they are the place where you’ll learn to use the wide variety of equipment needed to understand the fundamentals of the science of life; they are where you’ll hone skills in working as a team, planning and running experiments, and where you’ll make lasting friendships with your fellow Biosciences students.

Research with impact

We talk a lot about ‘research-led teaching’ but what does that really mean? It means that the academics you will learn from, the people taking your labs and tutorials and standing at the front of the lecture theatres, are experts in their fields. Their research is shaping our understanding of the world and their work feeds into our degree programmes, ensuring that your education is informed by cutting-edge thinking.

A career in the making

One of our degrees will give you the skills to pursue a career in your chosen area of the biosciences and will give you the transferable skills valued by a wide range of future employers. In addition to subject-specific knowledge you'll gain numerical, analytical and other transferrable skills required for scientific careers but equally applicable elsewhere.

Keep exploring

Meet our students: Katie

I didn’t really choose Lancaster, it chose me. From the second I stepped onto the campus for the first time, I knew I’d found my home for the next 3 years. It just felt right. The campus is so inviting, and the people are so friendly, it just feels like home. 

The diversity of modules taught throughout my Biomedicine degree have reignited my love for learning. It has allowed me to discover my enjoyment for topics such as genetics and follow that enjoyment from first year all the way to third year. I’ve felt so well supported by my lecturers and advisors alike that I’ve really been able to reach my full potential here.
