To do so, the biomedical scientist requires knowledge not only of basic scientific areas such as chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and physiology, but also of specialised areas involved in various disease states. The UK delivered course is accredited by both the Health Professions Council (HPC) and the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) as a preliminary qualification for employment in hospital pathology laboratories. The course is primarily designed for scientists wishing to work in diagnostic and research laboratories in hospitals and other medical institutions. However, it will also equip you well for work in toxicological and forensic laboratories, as well as those wishing to pursue a higher degree, or for a career in marketing and management within biomedical related industries. A year-long placement (sandwich) route is also available, and may be beneficial for those students seeking state registration with the IBMS and HPC in pursuit of a career as a biomedical scientist. In addition, students will have the opportunity to undertake studies for one semester in an American university. If you require top-up for a current non-accredited degree it is possible …
