hi helena , on the salary are these monthly salaries or annul salaries?

[@LifeofHelena]

@ per year / annually

[@AminahA0]

I appreciate this so much! I am currently in year 12 thinking about my future and the lack of patient aspect is making me re-evaluate this course, however the working conditions and hours are definitely more ideal compared to medicine as you discussed. :)

Hello, is biomedical science a good degree for being a medical science researcher? Before i was thinking about medicine but i was put off because it was a lengthy course 😅 and also because of my grades (of course). I started wanting to become a science researcher and make vaccines, looking for cures for some diseases/illnesses etc. Would i have to do medicine to be a science researcher? Many thanks 🙂

[@LifeofHelena]

Hello! Yes, biomedical science is a good base to be a medical science researcher. There are other life science degrees that can be useful too. Potentially, long term you might need to do follow up degree such as, an MSc or PhD.

[@TheMothaDuckingHamMan]

You will likely need some graduate training to stand out for an academic career in a university doing research. However, to get into company producing and studying vaccines I am not convinced you need a PhD. If you do a biomed degree I would recommend obtaining a research placement between 2nd and 3rd year, you can modify the project with your supervisor when you complete the dissertation - this sets yourself up to produce some novel research and gives you an idea about the process of research. Of course find your own path, discuss your goals with supervisors. For me, the dissertation was a way to explore the epigenome and it has sent me onto a path of cancer therapeutics :)

[@hassandwidar4824]

If i have biochemistry degree and diploma in clinical biochemistry that i think i have studied all modules that required but i haven't had placement year can i get ibms done? I am not from uk but i have 2 years experience in medical laboratory and i have done practical work in diplome in microbiology, biochemistry, physiology, hematology?

[@LifeofHelena]

Before you apply, you can check on their website if you’re eligible for the international route. Here are the links: www.hcpc-uk.org/registration/getting-on-the-register/international-applications/eligibility/ www.hcpc-uk.org/globalassets/registration/application-forms/international-applications/international-applications-guidance---2022.pdf I hope this helps!

[@nurainnisa31]

does this means, anyone from biomed science degree, must start medicine school from zero, without any credit transfer? so its like 3 years plus 5 years?

[@LifeofHelena]

No, graduates can apply for either undergraduate (5-6 years) or graduate entry medicine (4 years) in the UK

[@nalovanaomi8872]

Beautiful video . Please are the school which accept foreign biomedical science student in uk to continue with medcine after 3years degree

[@LifeofHelena]

Thank you. Both degrees are separate. If you want to apply for medicine after biomedical science, you can 😊

[@demiladegiwa7943]

How many years did you spend in med school after your biomedical science degree?

[@LifeofHelena]

5 years. I did an undergraduate medicine course

[@RyanWalusimbi]

Is Biomedical sciences the same as Biomedical laboratory sciences

[@LifeofHelena]

It's pretty much the same thing

[@saim_117]

Hello ...I was applying for medicine in UK but also applied for bsc in biomedical sciences in University of essex AND I GOT SELECTED FOR ESSEX ..so I just wanted to ask that ...after seeing your video ..I have a query that If I want to work straight after doing bsc then I won't find jobs? ....so I have to do masters as well? .....and if I get a job after BSC straight ...so what will be the pay ... please help me I am soo soo confused

[@LifeofHelena]

Hi, To clarify, jobs are avaliable to be a Biomedical Scientist. But before you get the job you need to have your HCPC registration. If you check the IBMS website they have detail information about the criteria. Placement year is advised if you want to complete your portfolio or you can try to complete your portfolio after your degree with a laboratory who are open to help with your portfolio. MSc is optional. You'll still need HCPC registration regardless. I hope this clarifies everything :)

[@SimranjitKaur-i6b]

DEAR I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS COURSE, IS THIS COURSE DIFFICULT OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO PART-TIME JOB WHILE STUDYING BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE

[@LifeofHelena]

This is very subjective. Some people find certain modules in biomedical science easier or harder than others. It's a very detailed course with the amount of information you need to know. I had a part time job whilst studying (not many hours though - just one day a week). You have to make sure you are on track with studying if you would like to work alongside and be a full time student (my personal option).

[@giftchigeru818]

Please I want to ask I applied for MSc Biomedical Science infectious pathway, but now I want to add professional experience, I have started classes already, can I inform my school or it's late?

[@LifeofHelena]

I guess it depends on the university if they have a deadline or a process to add professional experience. Maybe you should find out from your course leader/co-ordinator. I hope you're able too!

[@abtarmiah3799]

Just curious what did you study at A-Levels?

[@LifeofHelena]

Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Philosophy & Ethics

Hiya this was such an amazing video, I'm going into biomedical sciences, however I'm super unsure of where to go after doing my degree. From your video, there's a process to becoming a biomedical scientist. ive only applied for a 3 year degree, and I haven't applied for a placement year. Is there another way out of this? Thank you!!!

[@LifeofHelena]

Hi! Thank you. Usually, the option will be to find a laboratory which holds current IBMS pre-registration training approval then you can complete your IBMS Registration Training Portfolio

[@preciousolamife5670]

Thanks for this video. Pls I want to ask. I have a BSc in microbiology and I got admission in the UK to study Msc Biomedical science (clinical microbiology).After graduation, will I be able to get license to practice in the laboratory like a medical lab scientist? My target and career plan is towards laboratory work. Pls a response from you would help me a lot with what next to do. Thanks again

[@LifeofHelena]

No worries! You'll be able to work as a Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA). However, to work as a Biomedical Scientist, you'll still need to complete your IBMS Certificate of Competence and HCPC registration

How hard is the maths? I suck at maths but want to do biomed

Hi i want to be a dermatologist, is starting with BioMedical Science ok?

[@LifeofHelena]

Hey. To become a dermatologist, you have to study medicine then you can specialise in dermatology afterwards

[@DC-se3vr]

@@joyannajones4392 i agree with Helena. I used to work with a Dermatologist. And the best course of study that she did was apply for medical school, then she said you have to apply for a dermatology specialization. Biomedical science for undergrad is not necessary. I already have a license and i want to do research so i want to study biomedical. I hoped that helped!

[@kadirimariamdamilola9905]

Why did you choose biomedical science at first

[@LifeofHelena]

At the time, I thought it was another route to study medicine because I didn't get in when I first applied to medicine. I liked science too, so I thought I'd at least enjoy the course
