BSc (Hons) Applied Biomedical Science
During your second year you'll have the opportunity to apply for a year-long placement in an accredited NHS lab and transfer to BSc (Hons) Applied Biomedical Science.*
Successful applicants complete a 40-week, full-time placement, alongside an Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) registration training portfolio. This will enable you to apply for HCPC registration as a Biomedical Scientist on graduation.
*Please be aware that transfer is highly competitive and not guaranteed. Applicants also undergo a behaviours-based interview by NHS employers, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and occupational health (OH) assessment.
The fact that my course was accredited was so useful as it meant that I didn’t need to do top-up modules to get onto the HCPC register.
Graduate Tim got a job as a Biomedical Scientist in the same NHS trust that supported his placement year.
Progression to medicine and dentistry
This course has places available at the end of year 1 for progression onto medicine and dentistry. Applicants must meet the following requirements for consideration:
- Minimum of AAB at A level to include A grades in Biology and one other science from Chemistry, Maths, Physics, or Psychology. General Studies will not be accepted.
- >70% average across all Year 1 modules.
- Satisfactory DBS check and Occupational Health screening.
We also have an additional route for our Biomedical Science graduates. This involves an enhanced admissions process, as follows:
- On track to gain 1st class (>70%) OR already holds a 1st class Biomedical Science degree with us achieved in the two years prior to applying.
- GAMSAT requirement waived.
- Satisfactory performance in Interview.
- Satisfactory DBS check and Occupational Health screening.

Experience
As a biomedical science student with a goal of becoming a neuropathologist, the support I’ve received has been outstanding. I’ve gained more confidence, especially in understanding complex processes and techniques.
Whenever I feel unsure about a procedure or analysis, the lab assistants take the time to explain it thoroughly. Their patience and willingness to guide me through the steps has been invaluable in boosting my skills and confidence.
The placement and job fairs have been great for connecting with companies, and I’ve already started looking into potential research placements that will help me gain more experience in my field.

Joining some of the many societies on offer helped her broaden this community beyond her course.
Real-world experience
Employers consistently report that work experience is one of the most significant factors in their recruitment decisions. We want you to graduate ready for the world of work and so will encourage and support you to gain real-world experience alongside your studies.
You can choose to:
- take part in a year-long industrial placement at the end of your second year
- if a year seems too long, we also support shorter internships that fit around your studies
- we also offer a limited number of research summer placements which allow students to gain valuable research experience with the Biomedical Research Group.
Both industrial and research placements and internships allow you to:
- gain hands-on experience
- apply learning from the classroom to the workplace
- make an informed career choice when you graduate
- develop commercial awareness and other key employability skills
- start building your own network of industry contacts.
All of which will enhance your prospects on graduation.
We discovered upwards of 50 antimicrobial producing bacteria, which could be producing potentially novel antimicrobials ... This is something that could have real impact when you consider the current global efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
Enus talks about a placement with Bath's world-famous Roman Baths that has guided his thinking for the future.
I first felt like I was truly becoming a Biomedical Scientist during my second-year placement at the Derriford Research Facility (DRF). I remember being in the lab, fully engaged in culturing cells and analysing experimental results, and then translating that work into a poster presentation for other students and academics to understand. It was in that moment, handling real data, contributing to a team, and communicating science, that I realised I wasn’t just learning about biomedical science anymore, I was actively doing it.

Careers
I’m grateful for the foundation that Plymouth provided me, which has been instrumental in shaping my academic and professional journey. After graduating in BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science from Plymouth, I went on to study a Master of Public Health (MPH) at Imperial College London, and I am now pursing my PhD in Public Health.
My research focuses on health systems and policy, building on my master’s thesis on mental healthcare in Brazil. It has been a great experience and I have developed a wide range of research and transferable professional skills, particularly in health policy and data analysis.
Throughout my PhD, I’ve collaborated with international researchers, presented at conferences and contributed to publications. I am passionate about improving healthcare access and driving the implementation of effective, actionable public policy and I look forward to continuing my work in this field after completing my PhD.

A career in biomedical science offers excellent career opportunities for advancement and diversification, roles can range from specialist laboratories, research, education, and management.
Biomedical Scientists are employed by government organisations, private laboratories and the NHS. They can transition into roles focused on quality, safety and laboratory management, or enter the broader pharmaceutical and healthcare science sector.
Their expertise is also sort in research institutions and some may pursue additional study. Whichever path you chose you are likely to be making a positive impact on the world and could be at the forefront of health innovation.
*Data is from the Graduate Outcomes Surveys covering the three years of 2019/20 – 2021/22. Graduates were surveyed 15 months after graduating. Data displayed is for UK-domiciled, first degree, full-time graduates who are working, studying or looking for work.
I graduated with first class honours, experience in an NHS lab, and a funded research project in the subject area of my choice (immunotherapeutics) under my belt. I wouldn’t be where I am now without these things on my CV.
