Overview
Medical Sciences with Placement Year is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Biomedical Science often carries additional entry steps such as an interview, a health check or a criminal record check.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £9,500 a year.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
