    Glasgow Caledonian University

    Glasgow Caledonian University was founded in 1875, as The Queen’s College, Glasgow. Nearly 100 years later, in 1971, Glasgow Polytechnic was formed. It was one of the first schools in Scotland to offer degrees in Engineering, Science and the Humanities, though they were externally validated until 1993. Queen Elizabeth II became patron of Glasgow Polytechnic […]

    Course Summary

    Biomedical scientists play an important role in the UK’s healthcare system. They conduct the lab tests which the nation’s GPs and other physicians request on patient samples, analysing them for evidence of disease, pathogens or toxins which greatly aid in the patient’s diagnosis.

    Glasgow Caledonian University’s BSc in Biomedical Science and Applied Biomedical Science is designed to supply the highly skilled BSc graduates which the medical profession demands in higher numbers every year.

    You’ll learn not just in the classroom and in the university’s well-equipped labs. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a working placement which is accredited by the IBMS and fully approved by the HCPC.

    This course also conveys a wide range of ‘general employability’ skills which will make you more competitive as a job applicant. These include leadership skills, problem solving, team work, communication and the option of two separate placements as part of your year 3 studies.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning And Teaching

    GCU’s teaching methods are varied, and chosen to support the subject matter presented in each module. In most cases, the teaching staff are themselves heavily involved in the topic, having delivered relevant research and scholarly activity on the matter, or indeed are practicing biomedical scientists. The learning methods used are highly student-centric. They have a strong focus on practice and are designed to be responsive to the demands of employers in the field.

    Career Possibilities

    A Biomedical Science degree from Glasgow Caledonian University will make you a very competitive candidate for a wide range of roles. Nonetheless, the majority of the program’s graduates choose to take a role in the biomedical sciences, working at NHS labs or with doctors in private practice. Others opt to continue their education, gaining a MSc in the life sciences or indeed working towards a PhD or other research degree.

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 4 year BSc degree. Applicants must typically have earned 3 A Levels at BBC or better, or the international equivalent. The full list of qualifications can be found here. All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. A good IELTS score would qualify, for example.
