Hi! Do anyone know any biomedical courses with the grade requirement AAB in a larger city that is IBMS accredited?

For context, I have applied for vet med.

You can find a list of Biomedical Science degrees at city-based unis, and apparently requiring AAB, via this filter on the UniGuide.

You can find a list of IBMS accredited Biomedical Science degrees here.

Any course / uni on both lists should meet your requirements. But do double-check the grade requirements on each uni web site, for those which seems of interest to you.

I just check the list and some universities that are quite well known (kcl, ucl, manchester) doesn't seem to be on the list. Does that mean that after graduation I will be unable to work in the NHS?

Hi @Aperson314

For a degree to be IBMS accredited it has to be reviewed by the IBMS and meet its requirements for content covered, so usually will have a more set structure and very few optional modules. Some universities may want to a wider range of modules, maybe to offer more flexibility or because they have academics who specialise in these different areas as lecturers, so they would prioritise this over offering an IBMS-accredited degree.

I believe you can complete top up modules to meet IBMS standards after finishing a non-accredited degree, but I have heard that these are quite expensive.

Here's a link to a NHS webpage discussing different routes into becoming a Biomedical Scientist. https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/healthcare-science/roles-healthcare-science/life-sciences/biomedical-science

Lancaster is not a bigger city, but does offer an IBMS-accredited Biomedical Science degree, and allows students to apply for a placement year where they undertake training period in an NHS lab, which makes up part of your application to the HCPC to become a Biomedical Scientist. I'll link the webpage here in case you want to look into it further: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/biomedical-science-bsc-hons-b990/2024/

I hope I could help.

Hi!
I'm looking to do biomedical science next year too! I would second that Lancaster looked good, I haven't focused on IBMS accreditation, so this is the only one that I've looked at that is. However, it looks really good, the facilities were great, and I liked that they have the flexibility of switching between their biomedicine and biomedical science degrees within the first years. The biomedicine is more flexible because it isn't accredited by the IBMS, however both courses have the same first year, which seemed great to me!

I have a review article to write to Discuss how stem cells are currently being used to create new treatments for autoimmune disease, the ethical considerations associated with these techniques and where future development is needed to further enhance these techniques.I am struggling with how to start it and what to write in the introduction.please help I would appreciate it

I would start your discussion by briefly introducing what stem cells are and what an autoimmune disease is. You want to think of the review as informing the reader about the topic you're covering and imagine they don't know what it is so you are teaching/informing them. You can then start introducing the types of treatments, how new treatments are created and a few new treatments currently being investigated. Introduce ethical complications and how the treatments are affected by ethics - perhaps the constraints and limitations that this can have on treatments as well as the types of concerns that can come up etc.

Hope this helps! I graduated from a BioMed degree back in 2016 so it's been a while but this is how I would go about tackling it :smile:

Hi

If you are definitely wanting to work in an NHS lab, please take a look at the Healthcare sciences course at Uni of Bradford. It’s excellent and tailored to lab work with the uni sorting out your placement in year 3 with portfolio verification etc at the end of the placement. Yes, it’s Bradford but you just have to swallow that pilll to more or less guarantee a job. Content is excellent and lead by a fantastic tutor Kara.
