Overview

Biomedical Sciences is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. 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. We currently work with 4 universities on this course across 4 cities.

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.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

  • Laboratory or research scientist
  • Clinical trials associate
  • Quality and validation scientist
