Biomedical science
I studied microbiology in Nigeria and I’m about to begin my masters in biomedical science in university of Salford. My first degree is not IBMS certified and neither is the masters degree at Salford. With both degree not being accredited, can I still become a certified biomedical scientist if my first degree is assessed and I also take the top up modules?

Did you work as a medical scientist in Nigeria?

Yes, you can.

No
Ok, that's fine. If you had then you might not have needed to get the accreditation and could apply with your previous experience.
The masters accreditation isn't important, it doesn't mean anything for being registered as a biomedical scientist. First thing you need to do is map your degree against the IBMS requirements. The information is here. Non-accredited degree assessment - Institute of Biomedical Science (ibms.org)
They will tell you which modules you are missing (chances the rest of the clinical specialisms so haematology, biochemistry, cellular pathology and immunology) and then you can complete those at an accredited university.
You will need to finish the masters first because you cannot be registered on two degree courses at the same time.
