Program overview
A three year honours degree in laboratory science, covering human physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, clinical laboratory technique and a research project.
Biomedical science is the academic route toward British hospital laboratory work, but registration is a separate step this degree does not itself provide.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Science is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the biomedical science degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the biomedical science degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the biomedical science degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the biomedical science degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Science is a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent with 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the biomedical science degree is recorded at GBP 18,585. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the biomedical science degree. The biomedical science degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the biomedical science degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A recognised post-secondary certificate, Class 12 or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 59 with reading 50, writing 55, speaking 55 and listening 50; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.
- Application and deposit: Bath Spa charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Biomedical scientist is a protected title in the UK. Registration with the Health and Care Professions Council requires an accredited degree and a completed laboratory training portfolio, assessed separately.
- Work rights: the biomedical science degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.

Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Biomedical Scientist: subject to HCPC registration
- Laboratory Technician: diagnostic laboratories
- Research Assistant: academic and industrial research
- Quality Officer: accredited laboratories
- Clinical Trials Assistant: research organisations
- Further Study: biomedical master degrees
Reality check: confirm that this degree carries Institute of Biomedical Science accreditation, because HCPC registration depends on it and not every course holds it.
