Biomedical Science Degree

Biomedical Science is a specialism within biology and it affects our lives more then you might think. Biomedical science is used in hospitals for sample analysis but also covers a wide range of areas which all look at helping to diagnose illness and evaluate the effectiveness of the necessary treatment.

Biomedical scientists play a huge part in the medical profession and many parts of hospital treatment would not be possible without them. So, why not consider study a degree and working in a fast moving environment where you can make a real difference.

BSc Biomedical Science Degrees Entry Requirements
Entry qualifications to study for a degree in Biomedical science usually include 'A' Level biology and chemistry and GCSE mathematics or equivalent. BSc biomedical science degrees at Honours level are designed for students to receive basic scientific knowledge and training.

Careers In Biomedical Science
Biomedical Science graduates will require a minimum of a year's in service training. All biomedical scientists working in a NHS laboratory must, by Act of Parliament, be State Registered and will be required to submit a logbook of their training to the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine (CPSM). The practical experience needed for State Registration is often incorporated into sandwich degree honours courses.

Biomedical Scientists Ongoing Training 
The education and training of biomedical scientists is a process, which continues throughout their career in order to ensure that skills and knowledge are kept up to date with the ever changing and expanding role of the profession.

Scientists learn to work with computers, sophisticated automated equipment, microscopes and other hi-tech laboratory equipment. They employ a wide range of complex modern techniques.
