Can’t tell you how much this video has help me! I also did Biomed and then applied for medicine but was rejected the first time due to my UCAT scores. My second UCAT is in a few days and this was just the motivation i needed as there is part of me that started to consider if i’ll get in at all.
0:07 Hi i am Nigerian with bsc in biochemistry . I just finished as 23 years but i am still having this feeling of reading medicine cause i have tried to get medicine in Nigeria there, it was very difficult . So i am planning to move to uk to work as a biochemist and thinking moving to studying medicine after working for some time maybe 1year or 2years . please i just need your advice . Thank you
That will definitely work, however you might need to work until you get your PR or citizenship (5 year +) before exams and applying to medschool...it's very expensive for international students..
I really wanted to do medicine when i was 12 years old and it was my dream. Now i am going into my 3rd year biomedical sciences and i am now 23 y. I was planning to do PA as it is only 2 years but my feelings always pushes me towards graduate medicine… i really dont know what to do any advice?😭
Hey, this can be difficult to decide because both courses have some similarities and differences. You could possibly think about why you want to do the courses and weigh up the pros and cons. This could possibly help with your decision
I am really really passionate to do medicine. Unfortunately I migrated from Kuwait to England and did my gcse’s directly so my grades weren’t great. I got 4 6’s and all 5’s :” I am doing A-level psychology (predicted B)and applied science (predicted D*D*) and EPQ. I am thinking of doing medical science and then medicine . Can you please advice me on good universities that offer transferring and accept my qualifications
Hey! Have you tried looking on UCAS? I'd suggest looking on UCAS, you'll see the different requirements universities offer for both medical science and medicine
It depends on the individual. But, it’s hard to balance a job and medical school at the same time. Some people work as a HCA, summer jobs, zero hour contract roles etc. You’d need a very flexible job to be honest
Hey! It's hard to answer this question because I know how unpredictable getting into medicine can be and I was in this same position before. Do you have any plans to work as a biomedical scientist at some point? If so, then I'll suggest the placement year
Hey! Biomedical science (3 years) Biomedical science with a placement year (4 years). If you decide to do a placement year, it’s an extra year. For medicine: Graduate Entry Medicine (4 years) Undergraduate medicine (5-6 years) Foundation Year Medicine (6 years) I hope this helps.
It varies. But, these are the modules I did. - Biochemistry - Microbiology - Molecular Biology - Haematology - Pathology - Anatomy and Physiology - Immunology

Aww, I’m glad you’re motivated by this video.
I understand how you might be feeling cause I was in your position before. You’ve got this! 🤍
Love this video, keep on sharing your experience & knowledge - super helpful sis! 🤍🥰🙌🏾👏🏾
Thank you sis 🥰
Great video. I love the honesty in this video
Thank you ✨
Love this! It’s so interesting to see medicine from a non-undergraduate perspective 😅
Haha, thank you! ✨
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you. No worries
Medicine is not that stressful it just has to be your passion
Being passionate about medicine is important
Great video 🙌🏽
Thank you ✨

Do you think chances of getting in are better as a graduate on a graduate course or an undergrad course?
This is hard to say, I think it depends on your stats. Both are quite competitive. I usually suggest to apply for both courses if you can

So can you do your graduate medicine program while working
It depends on the individual. But, it’s hard to balance a job and medical school at the same time. Some people work as a HCA, summer jobs, zero hour contract roles etc. You’d need a very flexible job to be honest
So after completing your GEMP will you get a job immediately after that
do you feel like the biomed degree has helped you prepare for med?
It helped with lab-related work in my preclinical years (year 1 & 2 of med), essays and my dissertation but not so much for my clinical years
did you enjoy your biomedical degree?
Overall, I did enjoy the degree
i’m a biomed student rn but in second year so i’m like thinking of placement, do you think it’s worth doing placement if imma apply to grad med ?

@@LifeofHelena no i don’t , i don’t plan to work in labs etc. maybe researcher but most likely med sales if medicine doesn’t work out
@@aieshabegum2025 Okay great!
I wish you all the best 🤞🏾🙏🏾
I am 20 years and I want to study biomedical sciences and apply for medicine how long will it take me
Hey!
Biomedical science (3 years)
Biomedical science with a placement year (4 years). If you decide to do a placement year, it’s an extra year.
For medicine:
Graduate Entry Medicine (4 years)

I hope this helps.

It varies. But, these are the modules I did.
- Biochemistry
