Brookes’ Biomedical Science BSc is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), if that helps!

Hi Anonymous,

I hope this message finds you well! I pursued the MBiol Biological Sciences course at Oxford Brookes University and am currently a first-year PhD student here. Firstly, I thoroughly enjoyed my Biological Sciences degree and transitioned from the BSc to the MBiol course because I loved my first two years of study. Oxford is part of the Loxbridge Triangle, and numerous science companies and research institutes are located in or near Oxford and London, including Abbot, AstraZeneca, Oxford Nanopore, Harwell Research Complex, startup companies affiliated with Oxford Brookes, Oxford Science Park, GSK, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, CABI Wallingford, and Oxford Biomedica. The Biological Sciences courses are globally recognised, as several of my classmates have secured positions at large companies in the UK and abroad, thanks to their degrees.

Please check the Australian universities you are interested in to determine your eligibility. The quality of the Biological Sciences degree at Oxford Brookes and its global recognition are exceptional, especially if you gain work experience at one of the companies I've mentioned.

Thank you for your questions; we would be delighted to welcome you to Oxford Brookes!
