✅⚠ !!! *MUST READ* !!! Note that NOT all career paths listed are immediately available after graduation! Some become directly open if you have a higher degree level (e.g. PhD) or did an additional MBA. Many career paths listed are optional if you learn extra skills on the job (e.g. patent officer requires some legal knowledge). The examples of process/validation engineer are not per se open as would be for someone with e.g. biomed engineer, bio-engineer or industrial engineer. However, if by example you would have 7 years of expertise in a given department of a biotech company, and the company expands and wants to automate, perhaps you can promote to a level that is equal to process engineering, as you will streamline the discovery process for biopharmaceuticals based on your year-long internal expertise! ✅⚠*THE BIG POINT BEING*: your degree in life sciences (whether biomed, biotech, bio-engineer, molecular biology, etc.) is a *STARTING POINT!*. As your career goes you will discover your preferences and your strengths and weaknesses and there's options to either climb up, or even move horizontally/shift focus! A CAREER is a long term game (40+ years!) and you always have options to learn extra if you really want. Work to learn, don't learn to work. And aim to solve problems with the skills you learn!

Hi. Can you please send my you Instagram id...I have some questions about biomedical science degree...please let me know if you are free to give me answer
What about the fact that all of these jobs require some kind of experience. How am I supposed to gain experience if every job requires some sort of experience?
Good point, but this is a general aspect for every sector and every type of job in general. It's the eternal paradox for fresh graduates. The thing is: increase your chances by getting a placement year(s), perhaps do summer holiday jobs in a relevant context, and when you actually job hunt: be persistent and market yourself and your skills to beat the competition. Also START looking (way) before graduating, AND explore your prospective sector to know al the options (one of the reasons I'm doing this channel!).
Thanks a lot for this video! Initially I was sceptical about continuing with this decision of mine but now I'm totally directioned! I really owe you a lot. Really thank you so much! Now, after a month, I'll be going forward with my 1st year! Loves from INDIA!💗
Hi there! Good to hear my friend! Just remember that country specific, or even region-specific differences might exist in terms of options for work. I'm not fully aware of the popularity of biomed in India, but I think it will rise along with biotech. Moreover, jobs in the pharma/biotech/health research are expected to increase, at least from some stats I've seen in the US. Hope most people choosing this direction in non-western countries will get/have equal opportunities!
**IMPORTANT MY EXPERINCE & FACTS**: By the way most of the jobs listed I know people with no more than a diploma qualifications and working as managers for 30 years. While on the other hand I only know a handful few out of my whole university group, who got an entry level health/science job that technically requires zero knowledge byound year 10 advanced science class, and those either had a full time job before going to uni or had a family member as a manger somewhere or those who did Phd (but then yet still most of those who did do PhD struggle to secure a full time job and even when they do they constantly afraid to lose their jobs most of my lecturers at uni have to spend a lot of money on joining organisations and regularly doing payed trainings just to keep up so they don't lose their jobs, yet still most of the better with more experience lecturers were kicked and got replaced by new un-experienced to cut costs (1/4 of all my lectures throughy my 4 years were kicked). Those who do PhD it is not that much more challenging in comparison to medicine. Yet still medical practitioner numbers declined significantly from 2002 to 2013 due to drop of job satisfaction while population is increasing. Also hospitals and hospital beds going down for last couple decades while population is spiking (in Australia) Although going to university is a trap, some governments encourage people to go to university (and some even pressure universities to create more useless courses so to drive more profit). But the main reason is so if people spend more years focusing on studying then this significantly reduces crime rates (which is good thing for society) and also significantly reduce the appearance of the unemployment rate. Did you know that on average people with a bachelor degree are expected to earn significantly less money through their lifetime compared to someone with diploma qualification (started happening at start of the 21st centrey but during the 20th century this was not the case). (read it from a few Global news articles/research forgot the link) But to add to this is biomed regardless of which specialty or if it is or isn't accredited (at least in Australia) their are no jobs posted online. I mean when ever if I see a job posted it usually gets deleted within 2 days due to the 1000s of applications gets sent for the 1 entery level biomed job (vs hunders in other degree jobs). I have applied for 2000 jobs during 3 years most were entry level factory jobs not really science where they mainly involve lifting transporting cleaning and labeling things and even some where night shift jobs in places further away from cities and yet still it was too competitive and the job description was polished overrated (I would have not even applied for it since the potential for growth is near zero). I saw the people working environment was like sheep and I bet some of them had masters degree (I actually once attended a tour organised by local council into one of bigger science companies their manager sayed about the scientists that they are referred to as monkeys by non science employees and their were local gov representatives attending! This is how bad the work culture against sciences) Then I started applying for jobs that I had zero skills or experience and after applying for only 500 jobs I have had the opportunity to work in 2 places casually and now I am working full time in an industry that is completely different to science and the job is much more satisfying it is like working in heaven compared to most available science jobs as being heal. Once I applied for a science related job that I though I had no chance in getting then I was illegal scammed and was not given my payment at the end of the week when they decided to kick me for no reason and still nearly every month for last 1.3 years they keep posting this same job add so they get people to work for free, and no one complains because everyone they kick illegally still has hope that they may call him/her back to work with them because this is how desperate biomed graduates here in Australia. I didn't report them because what real life lessons I learnt from them and for "free" is far more useful than my university degree that has been weighting me down from getting any job in any other no qualification job. But also because I paid the price of a house deposit for my university degree, I could have even started a business with that money. So my university degree has been a huge challenge when I apply for socially inferior jobs because they think I will leave them since most employers still with old mentality and think that people with degrees have more potential so their is no reason to train them then they may leave to work in a science industry with better pay but reality the pay and job difficulty are both against science jobs. Now I am working full time in a completely different industry (it was soo hard getting out of the trap) Just like many others working in other industries, this is the reason why when ever you ask someone what jobs in biomed they tell you it can be this and that and even that (basically anything) because that's what people mostly end up getting what ever they can/could do once they get an opportunity. Excuse my spelling and grammar what I have written for educational purposes only and the contents is what matters. I promise I can write books about how bad it is and provide facts and searcher although it is hard since when ever I search it is usually universities come up in the search unlike other qualifications. Once my lecuter stayed that if something is not heavily researched then it is most likely not true/not effective about new findings/innovations. Same thing with biomedical jobs if you search and find less results compared to other industries such as by companies that employ science graduates or employment/unemployment and other specific details by research organisations compared to other industries graduates then this tells you something. now 3 years later I can see much more students of my graduated group are working in science or scientific related jobs some of of them have given up last year and decided to work in retail as it pays same entry level but easier more relaxing job, unless if they get lucky, or not sure how one person got a job in science. so after 3 years it is not impossible, but YOU MUST NOT GIVE UP.
Thanks for sharing your story! Indeed, geographical differences are a real thing, even within a single country. In Australia for example I could imagine there's only some pharma/biotech near big cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra probably... What I definitely wanted to try and make clear with this video is that many jobs that don't directly ask for a biomed degree, are usually also available because you were trained in similar stuff (pharmacology, biotechnology). And yes, research and development (or in other words the science part) is what most graduates would want to work in, but there's other segments like sales and marketing as well that maybe could be one's interest. I also made a few other videos explaining those factors that can influence your future job (search). Geographical mobility is for example one of those. Like your story too, I know other graduates that are now doing a job totally different from biomed, but got that job simply because of their Master's degree.
@@Biomeducated Thanks for reply :) great video you have. Not many explain it in this detail, I am working in sales company small part of my job involve market research, along with some analytical and data entry skills using data processing program. Which still could improve my chances getting a job since I have seen some job adds that required similar skills. In Australia we currently have very large production for Asian market. We used to have public sector job opportunities now it no longer exists, and Melbourne is top 31 cities for science and research (natureindex 2018) also some companies are amongst the more profitable for exports. but I don't understand what is happening I know that we go in cycles for example lots of opportunities for a couple of years then it dry out for few years and so on cycle repeat itself. The biggest problem is 15-20 years ago we used to have, lets say for simplicity, each year 500 biomedical science under-graduates in Melbourne and 600 new jobs including experienced jobs (we used to hire a lot of non Australians it was a priority visa back then not sure exact date), 7-8 years ago we had 1,500 graduates and 800 jobs (which is still easier than most other undergraduate qualifications), now we have like 15,000 graduates and 650 jobs (mostly 5-7 year experience jobs and on top of that the piled unemployed graduates from previous years render the ratio much higher, and also those who are working in a different industry and casually searching = possibly 180-360 entry level job seekers for each available position) What I strongly believe is what has happened in Melbourne is most likely going to happen in more and more countries around the world with supply and demand of graduates, if it hasn't already started to happen. basically in 2014 we had 5 proper biomedical science courses (in Melbourne) now we have well over 12 courses, and now they adding fancy names to it and it is same content just shuffled around and they call it a slightly different name like now all universities have biomedical science and biomedicine one allow students with lower entry mark from year 12 but the lower grade has same content if you chose to chose the advanced electives (back then it was one or the other name when I started, in fact my university called it biomedical science while another university called it biomedicne, I was told it is exact learning content and even some lecturers were the same lol). The behind the scene claimed reason for flooding the market with courses is that their has been less supply of medicine students for the demand. Reality is that satisfaction surveys has been continually more negative for medical practitioners job satisfaction for decades, and now we are in a stage where more smarter individuals heading away from studying medicine, as they have been moving to other better or more relaxing opportunities, and for those who are willing to start a family at a younger age it is becoming counter productive to spend 9+ years training and awful lot of dept (nearly enough to buy a full house in the cheapest suburbs of Melbourne). I also know people who studied advanced specialties in medicine and now because unemployed for few years they have downgraded and further studied backwards a lower level, also many of those biomed undergradutes that went on to do allied health such as physiotherapy and many other things they would have been better of starting with a more reverent undergraduate degree than biomedical science.
Hey, I just need proper guidance since I’m starting uni soon and I’m having a hard time choosing my major. Therefore, I want to know the difference between a bachelor’s in biomedical science and medical laboratory science since they are both laboratory related. + can you get into research with only a bachelor’s degree in that field? + what is the difference between biomedical science and biotechnology and what provides a better job? I am interested in learning about diseases and the different methods of finding cure. So generally, what do you think would be the best option? I’ll be really glad if someone’s able to help
Your questions are very relevant! I hope you can wait until the 1st live stream (planned august 21st 7 PM GMT+02). I will make sure to address these questions in the 1st session! ;)
Hello! I hope you'll answer my question. Should I continue choosing this degree even though I'm not into chemistry and physics? I'm the type of a word person than calculations so I love biology however I'm contemplating since ain't good enough with numbers. :(
안녕하세요, 지히! (Hope I got that right in Hangul). You should, but only IF you are interested most in human biology and disease mechanisms on a molecular level. Interest in biotechnology and medical subjects like anatomy and physiology is also recommended! Biology is very broad...so you can get into ecology and plants and stuff as well. Biomed is really focused on human disease. Chemistry and physics is usually incorporated as a basis to start from. You need elements of these to apply to either biological concepts, or to technologies to use to study biological stuff. For example, you use a microscope to study tissues or microscopic organisms, but to know HOW a microscope works, that's basic physics... you get my point ;) I also was less interested in maths, so biomed is not hard on maths, except perhaps (bio)statistics!
Hey I m confused to what to choose between biotech and biomed in my college Can u pls help me with this coz i m from a developing country like sri lanka
Hi! Sure. 3 questions you need to ask yourself: 1) do you want your options open to work with plants or bacteria or anything? 2) do you want to work in a medical lab/clinical lab? 3) are you more interested in biotechnological applications itself (like CRISPR/Cas9), or rather the mechanisms underlying a (human) disease?
@@Biomeducated Hi! Here in Sri lanka biomedical working opportunities are less, even tje biomeds work as MLTs for low salary. Though biotechs have a quite a good market in SL. Thats what i m confused with in future what field will be better? Thanks for replying😀
Well that's the thing: if you choose biotech you still have the option to go focus on biomedical biotech and work in red biotech companies (healthcare/biopharma oriented). You can do the same when studying biomed. However, you cannot work as an MLT with a biotech degree, and in some cases you cannot also with a biomed degree (requirements for handling clinical samples can vary per country!). Indeed it is smart to look already where the job opportunities are within SL and identify where pharma/biotech hubs are...not everyone (every country) (fully yet) appreciates what biomeds can mean for biotech/pharma! That's why I started this channel, you know ;) I'm guessing biomeds in SL take on MLT jobs because they were too focused on staying in academia as researchers ???
Firstly thankyou so much for the video, it was radiating positivity to me haha. Secondly, I'm a final year BS Microbiology student and am looking forward to start my MS in Biomedical Sciences. Will a degree of Microbiology help me get to this program?
I think it might, but maybe you will need an extra bridge year to catch up on some courses. Maybe send me the link of your bachelor's of microbiology, I will check quickyl!
Are you doing msc in biomedical technology is it okay for you tell me something about it as I am also thinking about doing msc in biomedical technology
I get asked this question a lot too. Now I can show them a list of job positions. Haha :D But seriously, most of the titles I never heard of. Is there a website where you took them from and where I can find a description what each one does?
Hi there. Well, basically it will mostly involve jobs that are technically focused, like actual lab stuff. However, depending on your skills, ambitions and the company you work for later, you might get promoted over the years to higher science positions.
I live in UK hoping to study biomedical science BSc, would it be easy for me to find work or even further education abroad e.g. within Europe or America given I only speak English. If so any tips or guidance for finding work or universities.
With English you can get far! It's the 'official' (or most used perhaps) scientific language, after all ;) Concerning work, it will depend on what you are aiming at as kind of job...to find uni's maybe start in general with sites like topuniversities and bachelor/master/phd-portal.
@@BiomeducatedUpto now my plan is to see what grasps my interest the most during my biomedical degree in the UK, currently I have an interest for sectors like neuroscience, genetics/diseases and biochem as would really like to go into research within these sectors. Researching bioengineering and biotech companies and prospects is fascinating as had good background with maths and engineering and would like to work hands on too maybe as not sure weather I will even like working in a lab all day, but going to give everything a try and if I dont feel the jobs suit me I will go onto something else, (want to be constantly learning/developing during my life to find what really suits me). Just trying to currently find any experience within a lab which I'm finding hard atm which is sort of demotivating me about finding jobs in the future during or after university. But staying optimistic as the current situation with covid will hopefully get better. Finding channels like yours really inspiring and motivating so thank you!
@@Luke-vz8kd Great to hear that, Luke! Indeed, post-COVID everyone will feel a lot REmotivated again! The fact you're mentioning constant learning is already a BIG BIG advantage if you adopt that mindset now! In 10-15 years there will be new job types that we haven't even heard of before, in all sectors!
Hi iam from srilanka. I am not an dedicated student. But i love science. So is it ok to choose bio medical sciences as my career path? because most of them are said if you select the bio medical sciences you should study hard , study a lot things
Hey fellow sri lankan, did you choose this? if you did the please let me how was it.. like how about the career paths and job opportunities in srilanka? please help me i'm lost :(
Hey there! I really hope you're still answering comments. I have my BSc in microbiology already. Is it advisable to still further my Master's in Biomedical sciences? Microbiology is not really regarded as a "professional" course in my country
Sir I have been selected in the list of UP private university Galgotias university for bsc biomedical science... Can you tell me that if I take admission there it will be good or not??
Recently I am graduated in biomedical engineering and I am from India...Can I become successful biomedical scientist after completing my masters in biomedical sciences in uk
Sounds like that is indeed an option if you have a M.Sc. Ask yourself which career path you think you want to pursue and then check the options that your university says you can do, along with the info gathered here on this channel and elsewhere!
Hey, I am assuming that you haven’t read this question of mine on the previous comment I left about a week ago, but here it goes: I thought about another question: let’s say I get my bachelor in biomedical science (in Ghent uni) can I then go directly into doing a master in biomedical engineering? If yes would I also have to take extra classes,.. etc to catch up on the engineering subjects ... as your friend did ( you mentioned this in your previous comment). Or is it a better option to do a bachelor in civil engineering (ingenieurswetenschappen as said in dutch ) and then directly move on to a master in biomedical engineering? What do you recommend, as i find biomedical engineering a pretty interesting subject.
If it was a comment on a comment, then probably I missed it indeed. My friend did it after a M.Sc. If you want to go for biomed eng, then indeed best take 'ingenieurswetenschappen' and in bachelor 3 you can choose biomed eng as major ;)
Hi, I just want to ask from your personal experience. How hard is it for a recent graduate to apply for a biomedical job as most of the jobs listed requires at least 2 years of experience and im quite nervous. Thanks
Hi there Korawit! Well it depends. In what country are you looking for a job? Don't forget this is a common problem for aaaalll fields, no even non-science: many employers ask for some relevant experience, and this is the paradox for new graduates of course. Did you take any internships or lab rotations, something to prove you were already exposed to a 'real' working environment, maybe that can be leveraged on your job application!
That sounds very plausible indeed. Two options: you check if you can get involved in a bioinformatics related lab/project during your M.Sc in Biomed (some uni's categorize their majors according to specific fields like immunology, bioinformatics, genetics, etc...) OR, you could go for a M.Sc in bioinformatics as such, but perhaps you will need to take a gap year to catch up on IT basics...
Hello! :) I have done my bachelors in medical microbiology and I am also looking forward to join a MSc. Biomedical science course in Medical Microbiology. Would you please let me know if i could work as a biomedical scientist in the future?
Hi! If you mean to do routine lab tests in a medical lab you will need some sort of accreditation. How to get certified for that depends on the university and/country. Check to ask upfront to the uni of choice for your M.Sc if you can do that with your M.Sc and how to get accreditatio to work in a medical lab....
Thanks for the video it was really helpful. 💐 I have a question, how can I find a job in Kuwait that requires a degree in biomedical sciences? I have searched online, but I could not find any jobs. Does that mean in Kuwait a biomedical science degree is useless?
That's hard for me to answer because I can't tell of course for all parts of the world. As for becoming a biomedical scientist working in a medical lab (an MLT or medical lab tech), I think there always will be need for people analyzing samples ordered from doctors to diagnose patients. On research matters, it largely depends on how much pharma and biotech and biomed companies are vested in your country, or how much funds your country spends on research in universities, etc. However: I did a quick google search and found 9 hits in kuwait as a MLT: www.naukrigulf.com/medical-laboratory-scientist-jobs-in-kuwait
Hi, if I have options of MSc biomedical science and MSc food science and biotechnology to study , which option would be better for job opportunities ? (I am a graduate from Bsc biotechnology)
Hmmm, this can depend on a lot of factors, for example: where you live. Some countries don't have a big biotech/research scene (yet) (watch my other videos in the playlist too!). Biomed: you want to study diseases or help in clinical trials or go into healthcare biotech or biomed companies, or work for governmental organiation on healthcare, etc. Food science/Food biotech: more chemical/biotechnological, including stuff like how to make better enzymes, or better preservatives or even GMO's and such... it's a different thing you know. So apart from job opportunities also wonder what you're most interested in.
@@Biomeducated 😂 the thing is I'm interested in both the subjects and and more confused. I live in india, gng to do masters in uk. Hope this helps in suggesting :-)
The thing is: I cannot decide for you, I can only inform, right? ;) You should carefully ask yourself if you are more into diseases, or more into technical stuff on food. In Biomed: you can choose (in most uni's) to focus on metabolic and food related disease too :)
Hey! I heard that the demand for biomed is much less than the supply, can you confirm whether this is true or not? Is it hard to get a job with a bms degree? Would you recommend biotech instead?
Are you in the UK? Then yes, biomedical scientists (or MLTs) are oversupplied. BUT if you go for the biomed route to proceed to a M.Sc or even PhD, there's more jobs available besides the medical lab setting. In essence, many jobs that biotech graduates (with a focus on human disease) can get are also available for biomeds and vice versa. If you go for biotech, at some point you will have to choose to further work with plants (agricultural), or biomedical settings or other stuff (check my biotech types video). In biomed, the non-medical lab focused orientations will also let you take a certain direction, for instance more into neuroscience, or more microbiology or more genomics or more immunology... there's various routes to get to a point in your career where you want to be, and biotech and biomed, both as 'life science degrees' can be both foundational for different career paths...
@@Biomeducated Hey, I’m a student that will study in the uk too! After my biomedical sciences bachelor degree, I’m thinking of doing a masters, preferably in a top uni. I would like to ask will that boost my prospects in securing a job related to my degree? I’m thinking of going to the business route and I may pursue an mba in the future. That’s a lot of studying though.
@@jackgray3190 It depends on what you're looking for. In any case, a higher degree will mostly lead to more salary and options to climb higher in your career ;)
@@Biomeducated kingston university has biomedical scuence management course,but its not accredited i think..Being Btech graduate am i eligible to apply this?also is thr any oppurtunity after this??
Hi,Thank you for sharing amazing info. It is really helpful.My question is what should one do if they don't any experience in the field because most of the jobs ask for atleast minimum experience of 1 year
Hi there Swasti! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, that is the same old story for many starters...and this is common in ALL sectors, not only biotech/biomed/pharma. I would suggest to gain as much relevant experience as you can while studying: internships, vacation jobs, placements. And try to get into relevant companies/labs!
I think you can...but perhaps you will need a gap-year to catch up on some things before you go onto a M.Sc., but this will depend on the specific university you choose and perhaps in which country! I have an example here: molecular biotech M.Sc where they state that clinical lab scientist (or medical lab science) is a sufficient B.Sc starting point to go directly into that M.Sc: www.kumc.edu/school-of-health-professions/clinical-laboratory-sciences/masters-in-molecular-biotechnology.html
@@Jana-gr7ix Then I recommend to have a look on the site of the university of Chalmers and figure out if your degree you got in Lebanon is listed as 'entry requirement' :)
@@Biomeducated i didn't find my departement in any university in sweden , don't know why , but they need 37,5 chemistry which i have , but also 30 credits math , so maybe i'm gonna take one year math before applying 🥲
@@Jana-gr7ix Yeah, different countries/universities have different systems, which doesn't make it easier for me to give straight answers to viewers... But in your case, the maths (and perhaps some physics) seems appropriate indeed!
In general, many 'Western' uni's will be good. Search for university rankings based on 'biomedical science' course quality and you will get your answer.
Thanks for your video.. I'm eagerly waiting to start my bms degree from nxt month.. Really I don't knw anything about this degree.. Thanks again from sri lanka
@@Biomeducated thank you but i have no money for spend these, so i can addmission for bsc biotechnology in my nearest colleges than i was clear that iit jam exam and i join iit madras
I think this will depend on the specific university and the requirements to enter the MSc in biomed. Check if the BSc pharmacology is listed. It is highly likely that you will need to take a gap year to catch up on Biomed-specific courses before you can enter the MSc
im a little late to this video but i hope you can answer my question: i want to be a cancer researcher and i was thinking of doing biomedical science then a masters in oncology then a fellowship for a PHD in oncology i dont know if this plan will work or not :( please could you tell me the different types of cancer related jobs i can do with biomed
That indeed is a well planned career track and is the way to become a cancer researcher. Besides doing academic research on cancer as a PhD student and thereafter as a postdoc (and maybe if you're lucky as a professor), you could work in a cancer institute (for example MDA in USA), or work in a pharma/biotech that focuses on cancer diagnostics or treatments. A lot will depend also on which techniques you got acqainted with during your development ;)
Sir , I m also confused about the job opportunities of biomedical Science. Can i ask you on question? Can I go for forensic science after biomedical Science graduation? Reply me sir
I think many countries now have a dedicated 'forensic science' training program. I know it's the case in The Netherlands. I'm not sure which other requirements there are... I suppose you should also have had police training or so? Pharmacy students who go for toxicology and end up toxicologists can most likely often be asked to do investigations regarding people who deceased potentially related to sbstances... Check the options for forensic science in your own country/uiversity of choice to be fully sure!
@@athirasuresh595 I have no idea...but I thought biotech is gaining much popularity over there, no? In any case, you could get into the biotech sector too with a biomed degree, bit depending on which specific techniques you learned.
Hey! I am doing Bsc in biomedical science ( Final year) and I am from India. My question is shall i apply for jobs in Us or shall I continue my Msc degree? Is it possible get nice jobs with my undergraduate degree?
Yes, although you do need an additional certificate/diploma regarding 'understanding the adolescent mind and how to teach', at least here in Belgium. Some uni's incorporate this in their master program. Most end up giving chemistry, biology, physics or maths!
Hi again. A quote from an article, specific for the US: "Pharmaceutical companies generally only hire sales representatives who hold a four-year bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college. A specific major isn't required, but many PSRs study life sciences, especially biology and chemistry. Aspiring pharma reps would also benefit from undergraduate study in marketing, sales, advertising, and business administration. Some universities offer Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences programs that could be ideal. Remember to fill your electives with courses like organic chemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, and toxicology for great career preparation. Some employers will prefer hiring representatives who hold graduate degrees, such as a Master of Public Health, Master of Health Science, or Healthcare MBA." www.topmastersinhealthcare.com/job-profiles/pharmaceutical-sales-representative/ Note that the 'sales' part of the job is perhaps more important than the 'scientific background'. So you can come from a pharma, biomed, biotech, etc. background :)
Hi there! Not standardly, no. Mostly, clinical pathologists (or clinical biologists) have a medical degree. However, in some cases you can also become one if you have a Pharm.D (hence study pharmaceutical sciences) or if you have a PhD with enough relevant experience (this could be post-biomedical sciences). Still, this might only apply in some countries. So going for a medical degree is your best option! ;)
@@athirar196 this really depends, both can get you into equal careers. But if you now already say cancer research, then best take biomed. Biotech could give you the option to go into much more fields. Check out my biotech types video too ;)
Well I'm little bit confused about choosing one of these could u please tell that if I study bachelors in biomedical science then what are the higher study options I have?? and if I study bachelors in biotech what are the higher study options i have?? As u recommened i watched your vedio of types of biotech but i'm still confused could you please tell me the higher study options..... Please..
Hi there! Well, yeah, at least at my Uni you got maths in year 1, and statistics in year 2. Check out this video at myth 2: th-cam.com/video/zP_tM7fbAps/w-d-xo.html.
I actually remember already answering this on a comment in one of my other videos... and guess what: that comment was also yours :D Guess you never got a notification about me replying... Here's what I wrote back to you 2 weeks ago: "Hi there! To be honest, how much maths you get was also a factor I considered when choosing my major back in my day. Maths are far less hard than like any engineering topic (including biomedical engineering). Still, you need the basics though, and one branch of maths that's very important is statistics! Especially if you want to get into research! In my particular courses I had maths in year 1 that covered anything from real functions, limits and continuity, rows and series, matrices, derivatives, integrals, first and second order differential comparisons, to applied models like exponential growth of a bacterial cell culture. How much you should get I can't really tell because your educational scoring system is probably way different from mine here in Belgium. Nevertheless, if you're motivated you just 'swim through this mathematical pond' and in the years after you much more applied concepts in biological science fields! The general courses like basic physics, chemistry and maths is just something you need to go through, but it's part of the journey. You can't do science without knowing some basic maths, and that's the cold hard truth. But don't worry, if you get the concepts, you will be empowered to apply them in the future! Good luck my friend!"
I like biomedical science...so I will ready to take this course...but I have a doubt ....Is entrance exam is essential for this course or any other exams for this??If u see my comment please reply ...
No entrance exam like you need for medicine! ;) If you are an international student, the only exam needed might be a test to prove English language comprehension :)
Get a PhD/MBA (or both), start a job in sales and marketing, become CEO of a pharma/biotech company! (Not a road for everyone of course!) Or, use your knowledge of the trade to evaluate biotech/biomed companies yourself and start investing ;) (To anyone reading this comment: before you invest in anything: learn about the stock market! Don't go in blindly!)
@@alessandroc1456 In principle, I think either a PhD or an MBA is fine. In reality, it is a fact that most CEO's of companies come from the sales and marketing branch of business. Some people do an MBA after a PhD, some don't do a PhD and go for an MBA directly. A PhD is research focused, an MBA business focused. If you already made up your mind to go for the business side of things, business development will be your thing. Thing is, if you have a PhD, and don't do an MBA but DO get a job in sales and marketing, then your experience could be the substitute for what you learn in business school...
@@Biomeducated Thanks for the quick reply man! I have done some research also, and many people high up in pharma/biotech companies can also have an MD instead, do you think doing a Biomed degree and then PhD will be better than an MD to become CEO of a pharma/biotech company?
@@alessandroc1456 That's true in fact, many MDs who don't want to become specialized or regular physicians can also flow into pharma/biotech! I don't think there's an advantage. It depends on your drive and how much you are willing to keep on learning, how much stress you can take on, etc. I think CEO's have certain personality traits that are needed for such high-end jobs. The more money you make or handle and the more responsibility you get, the more stress and work hours you get as well! It's not for everyone, and it probably isn't as 'dreamy' as everyone thinks...let's be honest, wht's the point of all that money f you don't have time to spend it...except maybe when you reach retirement...but that is an uncertainty!
Very good question! I will add this to the list of questions for the Q&A videos as well! Back in my day you could not, because there wasn't a specific course to become this in Belgium. I think there was one in The Netherlands though. Perhaps now this has changed a bit. I don't think you can become a forensic scientist directly with a biomed degree, but perhaps it can set you up to more smoothly transition into a master program on forensics... I will check it out and answer in full in the Q&A!
Hi! depends... in my country I think going from MLT (professional B.Sc) you need to take a gap year to catch up on courses from the academic B.Sc in Biomed, before you get allowed to do a M.Sc in Biomed. But perhaps these requirements can change from country to country. Make sure to get informed at the university where you want to do the MSC!
Yes, most likely you have senior levels in many of these, and indeed many (after some working experience) can become (freelance) consultants too. I was promoted myself from research associate to senior research associate back in 2018 in my old job.
Well, that seems to be the consensus route for people who don't get into medical school rightaway. I always say to try to get into medicine directly if you really want to become a physician. If you didn't make the cut, then yes, many start off with biomed first and try again later. I never did the MCAT, I always wanted to be a scientist/researcher, so went for biomed straightaway ;)
I more or less see similar job descriptions for both (in medical labs). I guess it comes down to specific degree levels then like you mentioned on my other video. Bachelor's vs associate's. I never heard of an associate's degree in Belgium, so I cannot vouch for that. "Lab technicians might collect samples, study and perform tests on body fluids, teeth, chemical compounds, biological specimens, or other fields of science. Lab techs use various types of machinery, lab equipment and complex computer programs to perform their tests." "Laboratory technologists, also known as medical laboratory scientists, work in laboratories and are responsible for discovering and detecting new treatments for diseases and infections. Technologists examine and test different cells, body fluids, parasites, bacteria and other microorganisms to see how they respond to different treatments. They use these test results to help doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment."
I think this depends from uni to uni, and also whether your uni is research focused, or medical-lab focused... In my uni in Belgium for instance, my thesis year (2nd Master's), is somewhat of a placement, but it's inside the university, not an industry or private employer...In any case, the goal is the same: things you've learned in the early years in theory and on paper you now have to apply in the lab yourself. You get exposed to a 'real' working environment. And that is really eye-opening! Make sure to check the curricula of your unis of interest to see if placements are mandatory or not...
If you intend to be a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist in UK and you're doing an IBMS accredited biomedical science degree, I would highly recommend doing a placement year if it is available to you so you will have your registration portfolio done when you leave. Otherwise you have to find a Trainee Biomedical Scientist job when you leave and those don't come up very often.
Could you please tell me after the biomed degree what are the good field to purse the postgraduate studies in biomedical science...I dont have any idea about the options.
Hi there! No, that's a separate degree. You can make a switch to a M.Sc in biomed engineering, but it will cost you extra year(s) of study, so best to start wth biomed engineering directly, or with general engineering and then specialize!
Biomed Master I’m in my final semester and I can’t really find any information regarding if this would lead me to engineering. Is there any way where I would be able to do that. Plz plz answer
@@khanad3247 If you have a bachelor's in biomed, normally you could go to engineering, BUT not directly... you will need to study 1 or 2 extra years to pick up some applied maths and stuff. My friend made a switch from Msc Biomed to Biomedical engineer: 5 years for the Msc, then 2 'switch' years, and then 2 MSc biomedical engineering. But this can vary per county/university!
Hello biomeducated! Recently I got an biomedical sciences offer from a world top 100 university. I know that some of the jobs listed here requires a master. If I get a masters from a top university like Cambridge or Oxford will my percentage of getting a job or a job with a higher salary increase?
Hello, I am not sure sure if you would be able to answer this question for me, but it would be veryyy helpful if you could because I have done research but unfortunately i couldnt really find an exact answer, maybe you can help: Is biomedical engineering also a job path you can take/ chose in your master degree? Or is that only possible when you do a bachelor in civil engineering? Btw: I appreciate you for helping others out by making TH-cam videos!
Hi there! No, as far as I know Biomedical Engineering (BME) is not an option in a Biomedical Science master's. Indeed, you can get into it through an engineering undergrad, and there are specific BME undergrads too (check out my friends channel @TheBMELife th-cam.com/channels/zeGdBbgx90whIn-JI0Si5w.html). I have a friend from Biomedical Science who graduated his MSc with me and decided to go for a MSc in Biomedical Engineering: 1 gap year to catch up general engineering topics + 2 years BME Master's, so it's always possible to make the change after a (related) undergrad, being that often times you will need to catch up some basics from different focused tracks you will take after :) Thank you for the kind words!
Biomed Master Also I just thought about another question: let’s say I get my bachelor and master in biomedical science (in Ghent uni) can I then go directly into doing a master in biomedical engineering ? (With already a biomedical master in the pocket) and if yes would I also have to take extra classes,.. etc to catch up on the engineering subjects ... as your friend did. Or is it a better option to do a bachelor in civil engineering (ingenieurswetenschappen as said in dutch ) and then directly move on to a master in biomedical engineering? What do you recommend, as i find biomedical engineering a pretty interesting subject.
✅⚠ !!! *MUST READ* !!!
Note that NOT all career paths listed are immediately available after graduation! Some become directly open if you have a higher degree level (e.g. PhD) or did an additional MBA. Many career paths listed are optional if you learn extra skills on the job (e.g. patent officer requires some legal knowledge). The examples of process/validation engineer are not per se open as would be for someone with e.g. biomed engineer, bio-engineer or industrial engineer. However, if by example you would have 7 years of expertise in a given department of a biotech company, and the company expands and wants to automate, perhaps you can promote to a level that is equal to process engineering, as you will streamline the discovery process for biopharmaceuticals based on your year-long internal expertise!
✅⚠*THE BIG POINT BEING*: your degree in life sciences (whether biomed, biotech, bio-engineer, molecular biology, etc.) is a *STARTING POINT!*. As your career goes you will discover your preferences and your strengths and weaknesses and there's options to either climb up, or even move horizontally/shift focus!
A CAREER is a long term game (40+ years!) and you always have options to learn extra if you really want.
Work to learn, don't learn to work. And aim to solve problems with the skills you learn!

Bro ..i am bio medical science student in india ... Bharathidasan University
@@aravinthv5233bro enna mark venum 12th la .. andha college join panalam ah ?
What about the fact that all of these jobs require some kind of experience. How am I supposed to gain experience if every job requires some sort of experience?
Good point, but this is a general aspect for every sector and every type of job in general. It's the eternal paradox for fresh graduates. The thing is: increase your chances by getting a placement year(s), perhaps do summer holiday jobs in a relevant context, and when you actually job hunt: be persistent and market yourself and your skills to beat the competition. Also START looking (way) before graduating, AND explore your prospective sector to know al the options (one of the reasons I'm doing this channel!).
You have an impressive lung capacity! Thanks for this video, Kevin.
Partly genetics, partly life-long exercise ;)
I have a BSc in Microbiology, MSc. And PhD. In Biomedical Sciences and I am unemployed. Underrated salaries 😂
Are you looking for a first job? In which region are you located and searching a job? Any big biotech/pharma hubs near you?
Thanks a lot for this video!
Initially I was sceptical about continuing with this decision of mine but now I'm totally directioned! I really owe you a lot.
Really thank you so much!
Now, after a month, I'll be going forward with my 1st year!
Loves from INDIA!💗
Hi there! Good to hear my friend! Just remember that country specific, or even region-specific differences might exist in terms of options for work. I'm not fully aware of the popularity of biomed in India, but I think it will rise along with biotech. Moreover, jobs in the pharma/biotech/health research are expected to increase, at least from some stats I've seen in the US. Hope most people choosing this direction in non-western countries will get/have equal opportunities!
**IMPORTANT MY EXPERINCE & FACTS**: By the way most of the jobs listed I know people with no more than a diploma qualifications and working as managers for 30 years. While on the other hand I only know a handful few out of my whole university group, who got an entry level health/science job that technically requires zero knowledge byound year 10 advanced science class, and those either had a full time job before going to uni or had a family member as a manger somewhere or those who did Phd (but then yet still most of those who did do PhD struggle to secure a full time job and even when they do they constantly afraid to lose their jobs most of my lecturers at uni have to spend a lot of money on joining organisations and regularly doing payed trainings just to keep up so they don't lose their jobs, yet still most of the better with more experience lecturers were kicked and got replaced by new un-experienced to cut costs (1/4 of all my lectures throughy my 4 years were kicked).
Those who do PhD it is not that much more challenging in comparison to medicine. Yet still medical practitioner numbers declined significantly from 2002 to 2013 due to drop of job satisfaction while population is increasing. Also hospitals and hospital beds going down for last couple decades while population is spiking (in Australia)
Although going to university is a trap, some governments encourage people to go to university (and some even pressure universities to create more useless courses so to drive more profit). But the main reason is so if people spend more years focusing on studying then this significantly reduces crime rates (which is good thing for society) and also significantly reduce the appearance of the unemployment rate.
Did you know that on average people with a bachelor degree are expected to earn significantly less money through their lifetime compared to someone with diploma qualification (started happening at start of the 21st centrey but during the 20th century this was not the case). (read it from a few Global news articles/research forgot the link)
But to add to this is biomed regardless of which specialty or if it is or isn't accredited (at least in Australia) their are no jobs posted online. I mean when ever if I see a job posted it usually gets deleted within 2 days due to the 1000s of applications gets sent for the 1 entery level biomed job (vs hunders in other degree jobs).
I have applied for 2000 jobs during 3 years most were entry level factory jobs not really science where they mainly involve lifting transporting cleaning and labeling things and even some where night shift jobs in places further away from cities and yet still it was too competitive and the job description was polished overrated (I would have not even applied for it since the potential for growth is near zero).
I saw the people working environment was like sheep and I bet some of them had masters degree (I actually once attended a tour organised by local council into one of bigger science companies their manager sayed about the scientists that they are referred to as monkeys by non science employees and their were local gov representatives attending! This is how bad the work culture against sciences)
Then I started applying for jobs that I had zero skills or experience and after applying for only 500 jobs I have had the opportunity to work in 2 places casually and now I am working full time in an industry that is completely different to science and the job is much more satisfying it is like working in heaven compared to most available science jobs as being heal.
Once I applied for a science related job that I though I had no chance in getting then I was illegal scammed and was not given my payment at the end of the week when they decided to kick me for no reason and still nearly every month for last 1.3 years they keep posting this same job add so they get people to work for free, and no one complains because everyone they kick illegally still has hope that they may call him/her back to work with them because this is how desperate biomed graduates here in Australia. I didn't report them because what real life lessons I learnt from them and for "free" is far more useful than my university degree that has been weighting me down from getting any job in any other no qualification job. But also because I paid the price of a house deposit for my university degree, I could have even started a business with that money.
So my university degree has been a huge challenge when I apply for socially inferior jobs because they think I will leave them since most employers still with old mentality and think that people with degrees have more potential so their is no reason to train them then they may leave to work in a science industry with better pay but reality the pay and job difficulty are both against science jobs.
Now I am working full time in a completely different industry (it was soo hard getting out of the trap)
Just like many others working in other industries, this is the reason why when ever you ask someone what jobs in biomed they tell you it can be this and that and even that (basically anything) because that's what people mostly end up getting what ever they can/could do once they get an opportunity.
Excuse my spelling and grammar what I have written for educational purposes only and the contents is what matters.
I promise I can write books about how bad it is and provide facts and searcher although it is hard since when ever I search it is usually universities come up in the search unlike other qualifications. Once my lecuter stayed that if something is not heavily researched then it is most likely not true/not effective about new findings/innovations. Same thing with biomedical jobs if you search and find less results compared to other industries such as by companies that employ science graduates or employment/unemployment and other specific details by research organisations compared to other industries graduates then this tells you something.
now 3 years later I can see much more students of my graduated group are working in science or scientific related jobs some of of them have given up last year and decided to work in retail as it pays same entry level but easier more relaxing job, unless if they get lucky, or not sure how one person got a job in science. so after 3 years it is not impossible, but YOU MUST NOT GIVE UP.
Thanks for sharing your story! Indeed, geographical differences are a real thing, even within a single country. In Australia for example I could imagine there's only some pharma/biotech near big cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra probably... What I definitely wanted to try and make clear with this video is that many jobs that don't directly ask for a biomed degree, are usually also available because you were trained in similar stuff (pharmacology, biotechnology). And yes, research and development (or in other words the science part) is what most graduates would want to work in, but there's other segments like sales and marketing as well that maybe could be one's interest. I also made a few other videos explaining those factors that can influence your future job (search). Geographical mobility is for example one of those. Like your story too, I know other graduates that are now doing a job totally different from biomed, but got that job simply because of their Master's degree.
@@Biomeducated Thanks for reply :) great video you have. Not many explain it in this detail, I am working in sales company small part of my job involve market research, along with some analytical and data entry skills using data processing program. Which still could improve my chances getting a job since I have seen some job adds that required similar skills. In Australia we currently have very large production for Asian market. We used to have public sector job opportunities now it no longer exists, and Melbourne is top 31 cities for science and research (natureindex 2018) also some companies are amongst the more profitable for exports. but I don't understand what is happening I know that we go in cycles for example lots of opportunities for a couple of years then it dry out for few years and so on cycle repeat itself.
The biggest problem is 15-20 years ago we used to have, lets say for simplicity, each year 500 biomedical science under-graduates in Melbourne and 600 new jobs including experienced jobs (we used to hire a lot of non Australians it was a priority visa back then not sure exact date), 7-8 years ago we had 1,500 graduates and 800 jobs (which is still easier than most other undergraduate qualifications), now we have like 15,000 graduates and 650 jobs (mostly 5-7 year experience jobs and on top of that the piled unemployed graduates from previous years render the ratio much higher, and also those who are working in a different industry and casually searching = possibly 180-360 entry level job seekers for each available position)
What I strongly believe is what has happened in Melbourne is most likely going to happen in more and more countries around the world with supply and demand of graduates, if it hasn't already started to happen.
basically in 2014 we had 5 proper biomedical science courses (in Melbourne) now we have well over 12 courses, and now they adding fancy names to it and it is same content just shuffled around and they call it a slightly different name like now all universities have biomedical science and biomedicine one allow students with lower entry mark from year 12 but the lower grade has same content if you chose to chose the advanced electives (back then it was one or the other name when I started, in fact my university called it biomedical science while another university called it biomedicne, I was told it is exact learning content and even some lecturers were the same lol).
The behind the scene claimed reason for flooding the market with courses is that their has been less supply of medicine students for the demand.
Reality is that satisfaction surveys has been continually more negative for medical practitioners job satisfaction for decades, and now we are in a stage where more smarter individuals heading away from studying medicine, as they have been moving to other better or more relaxing opportunities, and for those who are willing to start a family at a younger age it is becoming counter productive to spend 9+ years training and awful lot of dept (nearly enough to buy a full house in the cheapest suburbs of Melbourne).
I also know people who studied advanced specialties in medicine and now because unemployed for few years they have downgraded and further studied backwards a lower level, also many of those biomed undergradutes that went on to do allied health such as physiotherapy and many other things they would have been better of starting with a more reverent undergraduate degree than biomedical science.
Thank you so much ❗️🙏🏽

Hey, I just need proper guidance since I’m starting uni soon and I’m having a hard time choosing my major. Therefore, I want to know the difference between a bachelor’s in biomedical science and medical laboratory science since they are both laboratory related. + can you get into research with only a bachelor’s degree in that field? + what is the difference between biomedical science and biotechnology and what provides a better job? I am interested in learning about diseases and the different methods of finding cure. So generally, what do you think would be the best option? I’ll be really glad if someone’s able to help
Your questions are very relevant! I hope you can wait until the 1st live stream (planned august 21st 7 PM GMT+02). I will make sure to address these questions in the 1st session! ;)
Hello! I hope you'll answer my question. Should I continue choosing this degree even though I'm not into chemistry and physics? I'm the type of a word person than calculations so I love biology however I'm contemplating since ain't good enough with numbers. :(
If not, what degree can you suggest to someone who loves biology and research?
안녕하세요, 지히! (Hope I got that right in Hangul). You should, but only IF you are interested most in human biology and disease mechanisms on a molecular level. Interest in biotechnology and medical subjects like anatomy and physiology is also recommended! Biology is very broad...so you can get into ecology and plants and stuff as well. Biomed is really focused on human disease.
Chemistry and physics is usually incorporated as a basis to start from. You need elements of these to apply to either biological concepts, or to technologies to use to study biological stuff. For example, you use a microscope to study tissues or microscopic organisms, but to know HOW a microscope works, that's basic physics... you get my point ;) I also was less interested in maths, so biomed is not hard on maths, except perhaps (bio)statistics!
Hey
I m confused to what to choose between biotech and biomed in my college
Can u pls help me with this coz i m from a developing country like sri lanka
Hi! Sure. 3 questions you need to ask yourself: 1) do you want your options open to work with plants or bacteria or anything? 2) do you want to work in a medical lab/clinical lab? 3) are you more interested in biotechnological applications itself (like CRISPR/Cas9), or rather the mechanisms underlying a (human) disease?
@@Biomeducated Hi! Here in Sri lanka biomedical working opportunities are less, even tje biomeds work as MLTs for low salary. Though biotechs have a quite a good market in SL.
Thats what i m confused with in future what field will be better?
Thanks for replying😀
Well that's the thing: if you choose biotech you still have the option to go focus on biomedical biotech and work in red biotech companies (healthcare/biopharma oriented). You can do the same when studying biomed. However, you cannot work as an MLT with a biotech degree, and in some cases you cannot also with a biomed degree (requirements for handling clinical samples can vary per country!). Indeed it is smart to look already where the job opportunities are within SL and identify where pharma/biotech hubs are...not everyone (every country) (fully yet) appreciates what biomeds can mean for biotech/pharma! That's why I started this channel, you know ;) I'm guessing biomeds in SL take on MLT jobs because they were too focused on staying in academia as researchers ???
Firstly thankyou so much for the video, it was radiating positivity to me haha.
Secondly, I'm a final year BS Microbiology student and am looking forward to start my MS in Biomedical Sciences. Will a degree of Microbiology help me get to this program?
I think it might, but maybe you will need an extra bridge year to catch up on some courses. Maybe send me the link of your bachelor's of microbiology, I will check quickyl!

Most are from biotech or pharma, where you can end up in as well with your biomed degree!
Sir is MSc biomedical sciences worth doing in UK or not or MSc microbiology is better pls help..
Can you please narrow down the list of jobs that one can get just with a bachelors degree straight out of collage
Hi there. Well, basically it will mostly involve jobs that are technically focused, like actual lab stuff. However, depending on your skills, ambitions and the company you work for later, you might get promoted over the years to higher science positions.
I live in UK hoping to study biomedical science BSc, would it be easy for me to find work or even further education abroad e.g. within Europe or America given I only speak English. If so any tips or guidance for finding work or universities.
With English you can get far! It's the 'official' (or most used perhaps) scientific language, after all ;) Concerning work, it will depend on what you are aiming at as kind of job...to find uni's maybe start in general with sites like topuniversities and bachelor/master/phd-portal.
@@BiomeducatedUpto now my plan is to see what grasps my interest the most during my biomedical degree in the UK, currently I have an interest for sectors like neuroscience, genetics/diseases and biochem as would really like to go into research within these sectors. Researching bioengineering and biotech companies and prospects is fascinating as had good background with maths and engineering and would like to work hands on too maybe as not sure weather I will even like working in a lab all day, but going to give everything a try and if I dont feel the jobs suit me I will go onto something else, (want to be constantly learning/developing during my life to find what really suits me). Just trying to currently find any experience within a lab which I'm finding hard atm which is sort of demotivating me about finding jobs in the future during or after university. But staying optimistic as the current situation with covid will hopefully get better. Finding channels like yours really inspiring and motivating so thank you!
@@Luke-vz8kd Great to hear that, Luke! Indeed, post-COVID everyone will feel a lot REmotivated again! The fact you're mentioning constant learning is already a BIG BIG advantage if you adopt that mindset now! In 10-15 years there will be new job types that we haven't even heard of before, in all sectors!

Sounds like that is indeed an option if you have a M.Sc. Ask yourself which career path you think you want to pursue and then check the options that your university says you can do, along with the info gathered here on this channel and elsewhere!
how get 5 years expericence after just finish bsc .they mentioned 5 years experience
Hey, I am assuming that you haven’t read this question of mine on the previous comment I left about a week ago, but here it goes: I thought about another question: let’s say I get my bachelor in biomedical science (in Ghent uni) can I then go directly into doing a master in biomedical engineering? If yes would I also have to take extra classes,.. etc to catch up on the engineering subjects ... as your friend did ( you mentioned this in your previous comment).

If it was a comment on a comment, then probably I missed it indeed. My friend did it after a M.Sc. If you want to go for biomed eng, then indeed best take 'ingenieurswetenschappen' and in bachelor 3 you can choose biomed eng as major ;)

Hi, I just want to ask from your personal experience. How hard is it for a recent graduate to apply for a biomedical job as most of the jobs listed requires at least 2 years of experience and im quite nervous. Thanks
Hi there Korawit! Well it depends. In what country are you looking for a job? Don't forget this is a common problem for aaaalll fields, no even non-science: many employers ask for some relevant experience, and this is the paradox for new graduates of course. Did you take any internships or lab rotations, something to prove you were already exposed to a 'real' working environment, maybe that can be leveraged on your job application!
I see, yes I have some internship experience in the lab so maybe I'll use that to my advantage. Thanks for cheering me up :)
@@Sierra7329 You're welcome! Yes, make sure you highlight the actual experience you have in the lab(s)!
Bachelor of laboratory technology falls under biomedical scientists or clinical scientists..? Can tell me please
This really depends. It's often hard to say just by the name of a course. Do you have a link to the specific curriculum?
Can I get specialized in the human mind/brain after graduating in biomedical science?
Yes, you can. For instance by doing a PhD in neuroscience or psychobiology
I am curious if a biomedical science student can proceed to Bioinformatics? I am about to start my second year and got interested in bioinformatics.
That sounds very plausible indeed. Two options: you check if you can get involved in a bioinformatics related lab/project during your M.Sc in Biomed (some uni's categorize their majors according to specific fields like immunology, bioinformatics, genetics, etc...) OR, you could go for a M.Sc in bioinformatics as such, but perhaps you will need to take a gap year to catch up on IT basics...
Hello! :)
I have done my bachelors in medical microbiology and I am also looking forward to join a MSc. Biomedical science course in Medical Microbiology. Would you please let me know if i could work as a biomedical scientist in the future?
Hi! If you mean to do routine lab tests in a medical lab you will need some sort of accreditation. How to get certified for that depends on the university and/country. Check to ask upfront to the uni of choice for your M.Sc if you can do that with your M.Sc and how to get accreditatio to work in a medical lab....
@@Biomeducated Thankyou!
Thanks for the video it was really helpful. 💐
I have a question, how can I find a job in Kuwait that requires a degree in biomedical sciences? I have searched online, but I could not find any jobs. Does that mean in Kuwait a biomedical science degree is useless?
That's hard for me to answer because I can't tell of course for all parts of the world. As for becoming a biomedical scientist working in a medical lab (an MLT or medical lab tech), I think there always will be need for people analyzing samples ordered from doctors to diagnose patients. On research matters, it largely depends on how much pharma and biotech and biomed companies are vested in your country, or how much funds your country spends on research in universities, etc.
However: I did a quick google search and found 9 hits in kuwait as a MLT: www.naukrigulf.com/medical-laboratory-scientist-jobs-in-kuwait
Hi, if I have options of MSc biomedical science and MSc food science and biotechnology to study , which option would be better for job opportunities ?
(I am a graduate from Bsc biotechnology)
Hmmm, this can depend on a lot of factors, for example: where you live. Some countries don't have a big biotech/research scene (yet) (watch my other videos in the playlist too!). Biomed: you want to study diseases or help in clinical trials or go into healthcare biotech or biomed companies, or work for governmental organiation on healthcare, etc. Food science/Food biotech: more chemical/biotechnological, including stuff like how to make better enzymes, or better preservatives or even GMO's and such... it's a different thing you know. So apart from job opportunities also wonder what you're most interested in.
@@Biomeducated 😂 the thing is I'm interested in both the subjects and and more confused. I live in india, gng to do masters in uk. Hope this helps in suggesting :-)
The thing is: I cannot decide for you, I can only inform, right? ;) You should carefully ask yourself if you are more into diseases, or more into technical stuff on food. In Biomed: you can choose (in most uni's) to focus on metabolic and food related disease too :)
@@Biomeducated yeah thank you :-)
Hey! I heard that the demand for biomed is much less than the supply, can you confirm whether this is true or not? Is it hard to get a job with a bms degree? Would you recommend biotech instead?
Are you in the UK? Then yes, biomedical scientists (or MLTs) are oversupplied. BUT if you go for the biomed route to proceed to a M.Sc or even PhD, there's more jobs available besides the medical lab setting. In essence, many jobs that biotech graduates (with a focus on human disease) can get are also available for biomeds and vice versa. If you go for biotech, at some point you will have to choose to further work with plants (agricultural), or biomedical settings or other stuff (check my biotech types video). In biomed, the non-medical lab focused orientations will also let you take a certain direction, for instance more into neuroscience, or more microbiology or more genomics or more immunology... there's various routes to get to a point in your career where you want to be, and biotech and biomed, both as 'life science degrees' can be both foundational for different career paths...
@@Biomeducated Hey, I’m a student that will study in the uk too! After my biomedical sciences bachelor degree, I’m thinking of doing a masters, preferably in a top uni. I would like to ask will that boost my prospects in securing a job related to my degree? I’m thinking of going to the business route and I may pursue an mba in the future. That’s a lot of studying though.

I'm not sure. Best to ask some country-specific advice to like Australian labour agencies...
Hi,Thank you for sharing amazing info. It is really helpful.My question is what should one do if they don't any experience in the field because most of the jobs ask for atleast minimum experience of 1 year
Hi there Swasti! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, that is the same old story for many starters...and this is common in ALL sectors, not only biotech/biomed/pharma. I would suggest to gain as much relevant experience as you can while studying: internships, vacation jobs, placements. And try to get into relevant companies/labs!
What can i do for master after my bachelor in Medical laboratory science , can i apply to biotechnology ?
I think you can...but perhaps you will need a gap-year to catch up on some things before you go onto a M.Sc., but this will depend on the specific university you choose and perhaps in which country! I have an example here: molecular biotech M.Sc where they state that clinical lab scientist (or medical lab science) is a sufficient B.Sc starting point to go directly into that M.Sc: www.kumc.edu/school-of-health-professions/clinical-laboratory-sciences/masters-in-molecular-biotechnology.html

Can I go to dentistry school after getting a masters in biomedical degree?
I suppose so, but if you want that directly go for dentistry school then, don't waste time with biomed.
I did my BSc in Pharmacolgy, can I purse my MSc in biomedical science?
I think this will depend on the specific university and the requirements to enter the MSc in biomed. Check if the BSc pharmacology is listed. It is highly likely that you will need to take a gap year to catch up on Biomed-specific courses before you can enter the MSc
im a little late to this video but i hope you can answer my question: i want to be a cancer researcher and i was thinking of doing biomedical science then a masters in oncology then a fellowship for a PHD in oncology i dont know if this plan will work or not :( please could you tell me the different types of cancer related jobs i can do with biomed
That indeed is a well planned career track and is the way to become a cancer researcher. Besides doing academic research on cancer as a PhD student and thereafter as a postdoc (and maybe if you're lucky as a professor), you could work in a cancer institute (for example MDA in USA), or work in a pharma/biotech that focuses on cancer diagnostics or treatments. A lot will depend also on which techniques you got acqainted with during your development ;)
Sir , I m also confused about the job opportunities of biomedical Science. Can i ask you on question? Can I go for forensic science after biomedical Science graduation? Reply me sir
I think many countries now have a dedicated 'forensic science' training program. I know it's the case in The Netherlands. I'm not sure which other requirements there are... I suppose you should also have had police training or so? Pharmacy students who go for toxicology and end up toxicologists can most likely often be asked to do investigations regarding people who deceased potentially related to sbstances... Check the options for forensic science in your own country/uiversity of choice to be fully sure!
@@Biomeducated Tnq Sir . Is there any scope in india
@@athirasuresh595 I have no idea...but I thought biotech is gaining much popularity over there, no? In any case, you could get into the biotech sector too with a biomed degree, bit depending on which specific techniques you learned.

There will always be options, but bear in mind that a M.Sc can land you a higher salary perhaps.
Oh yeah you are right. Thank you! It's informative.
You can teach high school with a masters in Biomedical Science?
Yes, although you do need an additional certificate/diploma regarding 'understanding the adolescent mind and how to teach', at least here in Belgium. Some uni's incorporate this in their master program. Most end up giving chemistry, biology, physics or maths!

What is the procedure to become pharmaceutical sales representative?
Hi again.
A quote from an article, specific for the US:
"Pharmaceutical companies generally only hire sales representatives who hold a four-year bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college. A specific major isn't required, but many PSRs study life sciences, especially biology and chemistry. Aspiring pharma reps would also benefit from undergraduate study in marketing, sales, advertising, and business administration. Some universities offer Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences programs that could be ideal. Remember to fill your electives with courses like organic chemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, and toxicology for great career preparation. Some employers will prefer hiring representatives who hold graduate degrees, such as a Master of Public Health, Master of Health Science, or Healthcare MBA."
www.topmastersinhealthcare.com/job-profiles/pharmaceutical-sales-representative/
Note that the 'sales' part of the job is perhaps more important than the 'scientific background'.
So you can come from a pharma, biomed, biotech, etc. background :)
Hi,can biomedical sciences students become clinical pathologists?
Hi there! Not standardly, no. Mostly, clinical pathologists (or clinical biologists) have a medical degree. However, in some cases you can also become one if you have a Pharm.D (hence study pharmaceutical sciences) or if you have a PhD with enough relevant experience (this could be post-biomedical sciences). Still, this might only apply in some countries. So going for a medical degree is your best option! ;)
I am from india, i wanted to become cancer researcher so which degree is most suitable biotech Or biomedical science??
Biomed ;) but Biotech could take you there as well if you would chose (a subject in) 'red' biotechnology to graduate in!
So among these two which degree gives me more opportunities in future.??
@@athirar196 this really depends, both can get you into equal careers. But if you now already say cancer research, then best take biomed. Biotech could give you the option to go into much more fields. Check out my biotech types video too ;)

As u recommened i watched your vedio of types of biotech but i'm still confused could you please tell me the higher study options..... Please..
@@athirar196 Well, you can go into M.Sc of both after your bachelor's, and then pick a PhD project related to cancer :)
I really hate math...
So in this major is the math there less?
Or at least easy?
Hi there! Well, yeah, at least at my Uni you got maths in year 1, and statistics in year 2. Check out this video at myth 2: th-cam.com/video/zP_tM7fbAps/w-d-xo.html.
I actually remember already answering this on a comment in one of my other videos... and guess what: that comment was also yours :D Guess you never got a notification about me replying...
Here's what I wrote back to you 2 weeks ago:
"Hi there! To be honest, how much maths you get was also a factor I considered when choosing my major back in my day. Maths are far less hard than like any engineering topic (including biomedical engineering). Still, you need the basics though, and one branch of maths that's very important is statistics! Especially if you want to get into research! In my particular courses I had maths in year 1 that covered anything from real functions, limits and continuity, rows and series, matrices, derivatives, integrals, first and second order differential comparisons, to applied models like exponential growth of a bacterial cell culture. How much you should get I can't really tell because your educational scoring system is probably way different from mine here in Belgium. Nevertheless, if you're motivated you just 'swim through this mathematical pond' and in the years after you much more applied concepts in biological science fields! The general courses like basic physics, chemistry and maths is just something you need to go through, but it's part of the journey. You can't do science without knowing some basic maths, and that's the cold hard truth. But don't worry, if you get the concepts, you will be empowered to apply them in the future! Good luck my friend!"
@@Biomeducated thank.. Yeah I think I didn't got the reply as well.
I like biomedical science...so I will ready to take this course...but I have a doubt ....Is entrance exam is essential for this course or any other exams for this??If u see my comment please reply ...

Is I work as a lab technician after bsc biomedical science degree
Normally yes, but you could also proceed to a Msc, or PhD

Get a PhD/MBA (or both), start a job in sales and marketing, become CEO of a pharma/biotech company! (Not a road for everyone of course!)
Or, use your knowledge of the trade to evaluate biotech/biomed companies yourself and start investing ;) (To anyone reading this comment: before you invest in anything: learn about the stock market! Don't go in blindly!)
@@BiomeducatedShould we get an MBA before we do our PhD?
@@alessandroc1456 In principle, I think either a PhD or an MBA is fine. In reality, it is a fact that most CEO's of companies come from the sales and marketing branch of business. Some people do an MBA after a PhD, some don't do a PhD and go for an MBA directly. A PhD is research focused, an MBA business focused. If you already made up your mind to go for the business side of things, business development will be your thing. Thing is, if you have a PhD, and don't do an MBA but DO get a job in sales and marketing, then your experience could be the substitute for what you learn in business school...
@@Biomeducated Thanks for the quick reply man! I have done some research also, and many people high up in pharma/biotech companies can also have an MD instead, do you think doing a Biomed degree and then PhD will be better than an MD to become CEO of a pharma/biotech company?
@@alessandroc1456 That's true in fact, many MDs who don't want to become specialized or regular physicians can also flow into pharma/biotech! I don't think there's an advantage. It depends on your drive and how much you are willing to keep on learning, how much stress you can take on, etc. I think CEO's have certain personality traits that are needed for such high-end jobs. The more money you make or handle and the more responsibility you get, the more stress and work hours you get as well! It's not for everyone, and it probably isn't as 'dreamy' as everyone thinks...let's be honest, wht's the point of all that money f you don't have time to spend it...except maybe when you reach retirement...but that is an uncertainty!
Can you become a forensic scientist with a biomedical sciences degree?
Very good question! I will add this to the list of questions for the Q&A videos as well!
Back in my day you could not, because there wasn't a specific course to become this in Belgium. I think there was one in The Netherlands though. Perhaps now this has changed a bit. I don't think you can become a forensic scientist directly with a biomed degree, but perhaps it can set you up to more smoothly transition into a master program on forensics... I will check it out and answer in full in the Q&A!
Thank you!

Hey can i take biomedical science as a pre-med?
After bsc in MLT can i do msc in this field
Hi! depends... in my country I think going from MLT (professional B.Sc) you need to take a gap year to catch up on courses from the academic B.Sc in Biomed, before you get allowed to do a M.Sc in Biomed. But perhaps these requirements can change from country to country. Make sure to get informed at the university where you want to do the MSC!
Thanks it was very helpful 😄
Are there career advancements positions like senior or consultant
Yes, most likely you have senior levels in many of these, and indeed many (after some working experience) can become (freelance) consultants too. I was promoted myself from research associate to senior research associate back in 2018 in my old job.
Do you think Biomedical Science is the best undergraduate degree for people going to into medical school?
Well, that seems to be the consensus route for people who don't get into medical school rightaway. I always say to try to get into medicine directly if you really want to become a physician. If you didn't make the cut, then yes, many start off with biomed first and try again later. I never did the MCAT, I always wanted to be a scientist/researcher, so went for biomed straightaway ;)
It's medical technologist not technician
I more or less see similar job descriptions for both (in medical labs).
I guess it comes down to specific degree levels then like you mentioned on my other video. Bachelor's vs associate's. I never heard of an associate's degree in Belgium, so I cannot vouch for that.
"Lab technicians might collect samples, study and perform tests on body fluids, teeth, chemical compounds, biological specimens, or other fields of science. Lab techs use various types of machinery, lab equipment and complex computer programs to perform their tests."
"Laboratory technologists, also known as medical laboratory scientists, work in laboratories and are responsible for discovering and detecting new treatments for diseases and infections. Technologists examine and test different cells, body fluids, parasites, bacteria and other microorganisms to see how they respond to different treatments. They use these test results to help doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment."
Is it necessary to do placement year in Uni for Biomedical science ?
I think this depends from uni to uni, and also whether your uni is research focused, or medical-lab focused... In my uni in Belgium for instance, my thesis year (2nd Master's), is somewhat of a placement, but it's inside the university, not an industry or private employer...In any case, the goal is the same: things you've learned in the early years in theory and on paper you now have to apply in the lab yourself. You get exposed to a 'real' working environment. And that is really eye-opening! Make sure to check the curricula of your unis of interest to see if placements are mandatory or not...
Thank you
An example at Sheffield Uni: th-cam.com/video/b0jYTCdeTiA/w-d-xo.html
If you intend to be a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist in UK and you're doing an IBMS accredited biomedical science degree, I would highly recommend doing a placement year if it is available to you so you will have your registration portfolio done when you leave. Otherwise you have to find a Trainee Biomedical Scientist job when you leave and those don't come up very often.

Very likely yes! ;)
Hello, I am not sure sure if you would be able to answer this question for me, but it would be veryyy helpful if you could because I have done research but unfortunately i couldnt really find an exact answer, maybe you can help: Is biomedical engineering also a job path you can take/ chose in your master degree? Or is that only possible when you do a bachelor in civil engineering?
Btw: I appreciate you for helping others out by making TH-cam videos!
Hi there! No, as far as I know Biomedical Engineering (BME) is not an option in a Biomedical Science master's. Indeed, you can get into it through an engineering undergrad, and there are specific BME undergrads too (check out my friends channel @TheBMELife th-cam.com/channels/zeGdBbgx90whIn-JI0Si5w.html).
I have a friend from Biomedical Science who graduated his MSc with me and decided to go for a MSc in Biomedical Engineering: 1 gap year to catch up general engineering topics + 2 years BME Master's, so it's always possible to make the change after a (related) undergrad, being that often times you will need to catch up some basics from different focused tracks you will take after :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Biomed Master thank you for a (fast) response and your help, it’s clear now!
Biomed Master
Also I just thought about another question: let’s say I get my bachelor and master in biomedical science (in Ghent uni) can I then go directly into doing a master in biomedical engineering ? (With already a biomedical master in the pocket) and if yes would I also have to take extra classes,.. etc to catch up on the engineering subjects ... as your friend did.
Or is it a better option to do a bachelor in civil engineering (ingenieurswetenschappen as said in dutch ) and then directly move on to a master in biomedical engineering? What do you recommend, as i find biomedical engineering a pretty interesting subject.
