BSc Biomedical Science....

Hello,I'm wondering what careers does this course lead to and what's it's process. ?

That thread may help, it's mine to help people in your position understand their options better.

Basically the course leads to (if it's accredited by the IBMS) registration as a biomedical scientist in the NHS or privately. You work in labs with patient samples and help diagnose diseases leading to a better prognosis for people.

Or like me you can go into research and do a PhD, others apply for graduate entry medicine.
Biomed is a very flexible degree though, you can do a lot of things with it when you graduate. It has breadth of knowledge, which, unlike a biochemistry degree is slightly more focused on depth of knowledge.
Eg biomed teaches you about microbiology, virology, disease mechanisms, drug design, pharmacology, therapeutics, cell biology, haematology, histopathology, clinical biochemistry, immunology etc. a huge variation of things to learn.

I hope that helps!

I'm aware of the lab based careers it could lead to, but I'd like to know the non lab based careers it could lead to. The idea of a physiologist appeals me . The biomedical science course seems very interesting.

I'll look at your thread now. 😀😀😀😀😀

I don't know if a biomedical science degree could lead to a career as a physiologist but you could then apply to the NHS STP in cardiac physiology, although biomedical science is classed as a Life Science so unless you want to remain in a lab or pursue research then it may not be for you. You can do other non-lab based jobs that require a science degree but will be more clerical/admin like journal copyeditor or any sort of graduate job but a physiologist is a specific career and until recently, you had to take a clinical physiology undergraduate degree, I don't know what the path is now though
