Program overview
A three year honours degree in biomedical science, covering human physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, haematology, immunology and laboratory practice with practical assessment.
The direct entry route asks IELTS 6.0 in every band and refuses Duolingo, unlike the foundation version of the same subject.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science is taught at the University of London Met, 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.
Candidates for Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science present a recognised Grade 12 or equivalent school qualification at 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS Academic 6.0 with 6.0 in every band, and tuition for the biomedical science degree is recorded at GBP 19,500. London Met charges no application fee, and London Met charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the biomedical science degree . The biomedical science degree lists two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. 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: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 with 6.0 in every band; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 22, writing 21, speaking 23 and listening 21; PTE Academic 65. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted on this course.
- Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: London Met applies an India Bright Futures Scholarship worth GBP 5,000 to eligible Indian students automatically, with no separate application form. You apply for the course as normal and the award appears on your offer if you qualify. Confirm the figure on that offer rather than assuming it, and check the eligibility conditions for your intake before budgeting around it.
- Additional requirement: Biomedical Scientist is a protected title requiring HCPC registration, an accredited degree and a completed IBMS training portfolio. London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
- 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.
