This was very very informative considering a Biomedical Science degree is what I am in pursuit of and after which a degree in Medicine 💊 Thank you very much for taking the time out to share your Journey.
No worries, I’m glad you found this video helpful!
Well explained! Thank you for this video!
Wow , this video was very insightful I’m studying biomedical science this year and hope to later continue with medicine !
Thank you for watching! That's great! Wish you the best of luck✨
You've done so well!
I have friends who will find this video useful
Thank you!
@@jessthemedic6217 Feel free to share this video :)
Your gonna make an amazing physician
Aww, thank you 🙏🏾
Love your hair 😍😍
Thank you girl ❤️
hii! thankyou so much for this video! i have a question about the duration of medschool. so since you already had a 3 year biomedical science degree, did you still have to complete a full 6 years of medschool? hope u reply!
Hello!
I'm on an Undergraduate Medicine (5 years) course. As a graduate, you have the options to apply to:
- Graduate Entry Medicine (4 years)
- Undergraduate Medicine (5 years)
- Foundation Year Medicine course or Medicine with an Intercalated Year (6 years)
Ohh i didn't know we could do that!😮 I'll look into it more! Thankyou so much!❤
please can you speak about study tips. what worked for you and what didn't work for you.
That's a great video idea!
so is a sandwich course basically one with a placement year? and are all sandwich/placement year courses accredited?
Yeah, that's right. Here is the list of the accredited universities. The Biomedical Science course with 'sw' (meaning sandwich year) or Biomedical Science with Placement Year are all accredited on this list.
www.ibms.org/resources/documents/ibms-accredited-undergraduate-degree-coursesa/
I hope this helps you.
Hi I want to go and study biomedical science at this uni, could you make a video talking about your experience? X
Hey. Ok, that's a good video idea
Hello 👋..can I work as a biomedical scientist and study medicine at the same time?
Am the one who is to train my self
I'm hoping to be doing a biomedical Science degree in the next few years , and I'm just wondering what level degree do I need to be a biomedical scientist , is it like a 2:2 or can i still be one with a 2:3 ?
I think 2:2 is the standard. You can’t really do much with a 3rd class degree but it’s better than nothing as you can aim to work your way up through work experience
Hi I would like some advise on this. Thank you. Am in Wales
Hello! Yes sure, you can send me an email - info.lifeofhelena@gmail.com
hello,
I have some questions
I am currently doing biology, environmental sciences and French. I want to do medicine but I am not doing chemistry. If I do a biomedical sciences degree will I be able to be transfer to medicine? Dentistry or Vet?
Hey! You'll have to check the requirements for the university you're applying to. Some universities require both biology and chemistry. While other universities require one / two of the sciences such as, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths
I'm doing pharamacology, will I still be able to work as a biomedical scientist or in laboratories ?
To work as a biomedical scientist in the UK you must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
Very informative!!! I'm applying last minute, and have less than a week!
Wish you the best of luck!
I am the same lmao hope we make it 👊
If u dont mind what university did you go to for biomedical science?
Oxford Brookes University
can someone study medical laboratory science masters in UK, and how is the job demand over there
Hey, just a couple q’s
Did you do the placement year? If not, did you complete your portfolio after graduating BMS or not?
I’m thinking to do the Physician Associate masters after, so very confused whether it’s better off not spending an extra year but thinking it’d be good backup? Do you have any advice please 😭
Thanks
Hey, I didn't do a placement year at university. I did the standard 3 years Biomedical Science degree. I got accepted to medical school once I was about to start my portfolio, so I didn't end up going ahead. In terms of whether to study MSc Physician Associate or not, I think it depends on the career path you want to go down. Physician Associate degree has more clinical placement exposure, face to face contact with patients and Biomedical Science is laboratory-based. Do you know what you prefer? I think once you decide this, it will make it easier to tailor it down and don't rush to make a decision :)
@@LifeofHelena hey would love to know how you got a placement and places I should apply to currently looking for a placement for my third year
If I do a placement year can I finish literally all my portfolio before or by graduation?
Yes, it’s possible to complete your portfolio during the placement year
@@LifeofHelena perfect I'm actually a RN wanting to do my BSc Biomedical Science...do you think being part of the NHS already will make securing a placement easier?
Hi Helena, That was great information.
I am a postgraduate in Medical Microbiology from India. I am HCPC registered. Can I get a job as a biomedical scientist in NHS even though my course is not IBMS accredited?
Hello! Thank you for watching. You can get a job as a biomedical scientist as long as you have an IBMS accredited or HCPC approved honours degree.
@@LifeofHelena Thank you🧡
Hi @akhila, have you got the job, I'm also trying for the past two monts
Oh yes! I didn’t get this whole accredited thing ... so how do you know which uni is accredited ? And also A LEVEL CHEM IM SCARED
Check this link for the accredited universities and I have more useful information in the description box.
www.ibms.org/resources/documents/ibms-accredited-undergraduate-degree-coursesa/
Oh no, A-Levels can be quite daunting. Try and not worry (I know this is so hard). I hope everything goes well ✨
@@LifeofHelena thank you ! Also do I have to take chemistry because the sixth form I want to go to only actually offers biology 💀 it’s quite bad but
No worries! You can probably find a university that accepts just A-Level Biology.
To widen your university choices, it’s preferable to have at least two science-based subjects e.g. A-Level Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths.
Please can bsc in microbiology or physiology get me into medical school?
Yes, most science related degrees are accepted. Check with the university to be sure
So is the accreditation by the society of biology also an accreditation? PS love the video❤️
Thank you for watching! In this video, I'm referring to the Institute of Biomedical Science.
Yes, the Society of Biology is an accreditation. You can find out more information here: www.rsb.org.uk/education/accreditation/institutions/Accreditation
Hi Warwick is a good university for life sciences but it's not accredited would it not be a good idea to study there if I would like to become a biomedical scientist?
It seems like all the so called ‘good’ universities or the better known ones are not accredited but the smaller ones are - I personally think the accreditation and your future with that course is more important than the reputation of the uni/ their rank. Obviously good teaching is key but at the end of the day most of the course will be independent learning so it will be up to you to get the grades. It will make your life much easier (if you want to be a biomedical scientist sometime along your journey) to just go to the accredited degree uni in the first place. And anyway, to get a non-accredited degree regulated and accredited, it costs alot of money 😅 so yeah hope that helps haha x
@@user-ik1jo2vd2j thank you x
@@lizzieloves2 No problem x
I totally agree with you Natasha!
@@user-ik1jo2vd2j yesss!!! well said, I'm doing non accredited biomed degree and I haven't been told what the difference is between accredited and non accredited and now trying to apply for jobs in nhs is more like impossible becuase, I have to find a uni and pay soo much money to make it accredited. Honestly it's soo stressful, make sure you do biomedical science with accreditation sooo much easier and more guaranteed to find a job.
But, question to be able to specialise in biomed such as becoming microbiologist or embryologist do you have an idea or advice how to get into that path?
If sfe funds bms would they fund medicine for you too tho?
Unfortunately, you can't get funds from SFE for medicine once you already have a degree
@@LifeofHelena are you able to talk more about funding? I'm in my final year of Biomed and wanted to then study medicine. I'm just confused about how I can fund the course?
Hello mam .. I'm student of BSc (honours)Biomedical science..
I want to guidelines for future study.....plz help me
Hey. Yeah sure. Do you mean what can you study after biomedical science?
@@LifeofHelena yes mam .
Do we get paid in sandwich year? Please reply
I think no.
At Oxford Brookes University, you don't get paid for the sandwich year. I believe most universities are the same
I also want to study biomedical science can you plz give some advice for me
Do some research about the course beforehand, check if the course is accredited and look at job prospects
Can I change my subject after 1 years completion of biomedical science into medicine
Only if the university offers transfer into medicine. Other than that you can't
@@LifeofHelena would u mind telling me how university would transfer it will help me
@@nancygrg5628 it’s different for every university. This page has information about it. I hope this helps
www.themedicportal.com/application-guide/graduate-entry-medicine/medicine-transfer-schemes/
I am going to study biomedical in Australia after this degree which job i get or what subject I should learn in my uni which are beneficial for future pls reply🖤
Hey! What degree are you studying at the moment? In the UK, to study BSc in Biomedical Science, you need to do A-level (or equivalent) in Biology and Chemistry (or in some cases one of the core sciences). You have to check the university entry requirement on their website too. I'm not sure if this is the same in Australia, you'll have to double check.
Yes I have completed all the formalities. I have done my 12 in ( physics, chemistry and bio and i got 7.5 bands and i am eligible for uni
But my question is that as I will study bsc biomedical science I have no idea regarding anything so do we have to choose any majors or stuff like that( eg- cacer)
Pls tell we what should I will get after degree like I know the jobs but which one will be the best that i get only with this degree (no further studies 🙈)
Plssss reply it will help me alot. Love from 🇮🇳India
Hi, i am interested to study biomedical sciences course but i little bit nervous both my English language skills because I am not good at grammar and chemistry subject is little bit difficult for me so can you any advice for me what is your opinion about this course is easy or tough to study
Hey, this can be quite subjective. To be honest, Biomedical Science requires a lot of reading/studying but it's feasible
Numbers plz
Hey sis❤l'm grade 12 right now and l wanna study biomedical science next year at university of western cape..Any advice you can give to get in university cause my grade 11 marks were not really that great??
Hey! ✨
I hope you’re well. I usually look at the topics I need to improve on and break them down.
- Watch TH-cam videos around the topic e.g biochem, biology videos
- Find a book in the library related to the topic
- Good study group: people you can study with and give revision tips to each other
- Active recall is so important - so maybe question banks or past paper questions to have an idea of how the exam is set up, familiarise yourself with the timing and test yourself too.
I hope this helps. Wish you the best of luck!
Were you allowed to wear lashes and nails?
I didn’t wear lashes or nails then, but I don’t think the university had a problem with it. Maybe just have reasonable nail length for labs but you wear gloves during labs/practicals too
Hi, helena, I've some questions about the IBMS portfolio, so can I get ur email?
Yes sure. My email is info.lifeofhelena@gmail.com
