Biomedical Science

The course is providing me with the knowledge I need for all areas of Biomedical Science allowing me to choose my favourite areas. This means I have found it easier to choose which discipline I may want to work in after graduation.My placement year so far has also allowed me to get a taste of what being a Biomedical Scientist consists of within the NHS and it is allowing me to apply my knowledge from first and second year in a real world setting.

Human anatomy has been my passion for many years and I am fascinated with learning how living organisms work on the molecular level. My favourite times on my degree has been spent in the laboratories and practical application of the theory. Sometimes things can sound complicated on paper but can be easy visualised in the practical sessions. I’ve always felt I’ve been treated fairly and respectfully. The team make sure you have a lot of information about future careers, as well as many extra curriculum opportunities available. The support of the lecturers is always great and they are always giving their time to help. I’ve always felt that I could ask questions and get help when I needed it, which helped to build my confidence.

I think the best part of the Biomedical Science degree at YSJ has to be the staff teaching especially within the lab setting. When I was at YSJ we had small year groups giving us a high lab space to student ratio giving us the opportunity to work in small groups or individually. This allowed me to learn and perfect so many lab skills that are essential for all lab based jobs. Now working within the NHS my managers are always impressed by my ability to use machines and have the knowledge to perform specialised testing.
