Hi
I have a son who has recently completed his Bio-Medical science degree. In his first year many of the students did not have the level of chemistry that he had studied. The first year was used as a levelling year, it allowed all students to achieve a similar understanding of all the topics required. It was frustrating for some students who were more advanced in their studies.
Bio medical science in the UK at some universities is an academic subject for those that want to work within a research environment, in other universities it is a practical subject aimed at preparing students to work within a hospital laboratory. Many of the students who have been studying this topic have been disappointed to find their prospects are not what they could have been due to recent advances in technology and the openings within the NHS are not as plentiful.
I am happy to talk of line if you require specific information.
regards
Bleasers
