Biomedical science is health care/research based science and its practical
application. The course is designed to incorporate the study of life processes
in relation to health and identifying disease and its causes, investigate and
monitor pathological processes and treatment strategies. Subjects covered
are broadly similar to the pre-clinical components of a medical degree,
provide a focused experience of the structure, functioning and analysis of
biological fuids, cells, tissues and the relationship of body systems in health,
disease, and the environment. With the growing demand for biomedical
expertise, our graduates will be embark on a career paths such as trainee
Health Care Scientists/Biomedical Scientists, Clinical Scientist, Researcher
and within other scientifc laboratories. This degree is accredited by the IBMS

This unique international degree is offered in conjunction with the University
of Health Sciences Antigua (UHSA) and allows students to study for two
degrees at the same time, the accredited BSc Biomedical Sciences at London
Metropolitan University and an international MD awarded by UHSA. At the
end of 6 years, graduates will have two qualifcations and in addition will
need to undertake the licensing examinations to enable them to practice
medicine in whichever country they choose e.g. for the USA graduates will
need to take the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) for which
UHSA graduates have a success rate of over 90%, to practice in the UK
graduates would need to take the PLAB, the licensing exams of the General
Medical Council of the UK.
