Before you apply, you can check on their website if you’re eligible for the international route. Here are the links: www.hcpc-uk.org/registration/getting-on-the-register/international-applications/eligibility/ www.hcpc-uk.org/globalassets/registration/application-forms/international-applications/international-applications-guidance---2022.pdf I hope this helps!

Hiya this was such an amazing video, I'm going into biomedical sciences, however I'm super unsure of where to go after doing my degree. From your video, there's a process to becoming a biomedical scientist. ive only applied for a 3 year degree, and I haven't applied for a placement year. Is there another way out of this? Thank you!!!

Hi! Thank you. Usually, the option will be to find a laboratory which holds current IBMS pre-registration training approval then you can complete your IBMS Registration Training Portfolio

I guess it depends on the university if they have a deadline or a process to add professional experience. Maybe you should find out from your course leader/co-ordinator. I hope you're able too!

Hello, is biomedical science a good degree for being a medical science researcher? Before i was thinking about medicine but i was put off because it was a lengthy course 😅 and also because of my grades (of course). I started wanting to become a science researcher and make vaccines, looking for cures for some diseases/illnesses etc. Would i have to do medicine to be a science researcher? Many thanks 🙂

@LifeofHelena 8 ай бұрын

Hello! Yes, biomedical science is a good base to be a medical science researcher. There are other life science degrees that can be useful too. Potentially, long term you might need to do follow up degree such as, an MSc or PhD.

@TheMothaDuckingHamMan Ай бұрын

You will likely need some graduate training to stand out for an academic career in a university doing research. However, to get into company producing and studying vaccines I am not convinced you need a PhD. If you do a biomed degree I would recommend obtaining a research placement between 2nd and 3rd year, you can modify the project with your supervisor when you complete the dissertation - this sets yourself up to produce some novel research and gives you an idea about the process of research. Of course find your own path, discuss your goals with supervisors. For me, the dissertation was a way to explore the epigenome and it has sent me onto a path of cancer therapeutics :)

Thanks for this video. Pls I want to ask. I have a BSc in microbiology and I got admission in the UK to study Msc Biomedical science (clinical microbiology).After graduation, will I be able to get license to practice in the laboratory like a medical lab scientist? My target and career plan is towards laboratory work. Pls a response from you would help me a lot with what next to do. Thanks again

@LifeofHelena Жыл бұрын

No worries! You'll be able to work as a Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA). However, to work as a Biomedical Scientist, you'll still need to complete your IBMS Certificate of Competence and HCPC registration

Hello ...I was applying for medicine in UK but also applied for bsc in biomedical sciences in University of essex AND I GOT SELECTED FOR ESSEX ..so I just wanted to ask that ...after seeing your video ..I have a query that If I want to work straight after doing bsc then I won't find jobs? ....so I have to do masters as well? .....and if I get a job after BSC straight ...so what will be the pay ... please help me I am soo soo confused

@LifeofHelena 2 ай бұрын

Hi, To clarify, jobs are avaliable to be a Biomedical Scientist. But before you get the job you need to have your HCPC registration. If you check the IBMS website they have detail information about the criteria. Placement year is advised if you want to complete your portfolio or you can try to complete your portfolio after your degree with a laboratory who are open to help with your portfolio. MSc is optional. You'll still need HCPC registration regardless. I hope this clarifies everything :)
