Biomedical Science at University of Northampton

Hi guys,
I am an international student applying for biomedical science and I just found out that University of Northampton is giving 30% on fees as merit scholarship. Also they are giving HP laptops to everyone for Human Biosciences (maybe for other courses too). What I don't get is, is the university trying to attract students because they are having a bad time? The biomedical science course is subject to validation and no course modules are on the website. Does that mean it is being taught for the first time at the university? Will we be the first batch?

If you search this on the student room it was discussed last year and apparently is not IBSM accredited.

Do you wish to work in NHS afterwards,? If not accreditation not so important. You could contact Westminster and see if they would lower offer. Oxford Brookes has good Biomed course.

Yeah I do wanna work in the NHS. Thanks for the advice again. I will try contacting them through email. Should I call as well?

If you want to work in the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist then the BSc Healthcare Science (Life Science) courses, albeit not as common, are far faster and less riskier. You will have a guaranteed placement which no other course offers and you will graduate after only 3 years with HCPC registration.

How is Biomedical Science degree risky in terms of placement with NHS?

Because the few that do offer a NHS placement require you to compete and apply for the placement, it's not guaranteed.
