Location of University of Greenwich
The first year of this programme is intended to be a foundation for the more advanced studies in subsequent years. Approximately one quarter of the programme is taken up with practical-based courses that build students' skills in this area. The second and final years take skills and theoretical development to more advanced levels. In the final year, students also carry out an independent research project that comprises one quarter of final-year study.
The degree is also available part-time but only for those currently working in biomedical laboratories (for example, in hospitals) who wish to develop their career prospects and become registered biomedical scientists.
The programme can be taken in its entirety at the University of Greenwich or by studying at Bromley College with a final year at the university.
Career options
Graduates have opportunities in the National Health Service, commercial health laboratories, research institutes (e.g. Rayne Institute, Institute of Child Health, National Heart and Lung Institute), hospitals, university departments and commercial research companies.

Language skills
If English is not your first language, you will need to provide proof of your fluency in English before you can begin a programme. The main systems for measuring this are IELTS with a minimum score of 6.0 for degree programmes or TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 for degree programmes. Recently the TOEFL computer-based test has been abolished to make way for the introduction of the Internet-based test, gradually eliminating the traditional paper-based method. Other qualifications may be satisfactory. We can tell you what is acceptable.
