Thanks so much for watching.
Have a lovely day
God bless
Joanny :)
I'm so thankful I came across your videos, there are other videos that I've watched that spoke only of heedful warnings about doing biomedical science and it started to make me feel unconfident. I'll be starting uni soon and I hope I have the same enthusiastic and happy attitude towards the course as you do 😊
RMB aww I'm glad this was able to encourage you Hun. Yeah I would say that try to stay positive. You're gonna be doing it for the next three years of your life. It may be challenging in some ways but try to stay positive and stick to positive people. Wish you all the best 🙂
Ohh wow well done, you are so smart. I enjoyed watching this video 😊 God has blessed you and will continue to bless you whilst on your new journey.
My Life as a PA Amen aww thank you so much Hun. You are so kind. Honestly I give God all the glory. And yaas I can't wait to see what God has in store for us on this new adventure into the PA world 🙂
@@LoveQualified whh ....don't give God the credit you are the one who worked hard
h i Hello.
Yes I did work hard BUT only because God gave me the strength. I am who I am only because God has made me so. And because of that fact alone, I will ALWAYS give Him ALL the glory 🤗
Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you have a blessed day 🙂
Wowww. Well done! I hope I do as well throughout my medical science degree 🤞
Jerimah Mensah aww thanks Hun. I cannot thank God enough honestly. You'll be fine by God's grace. Remember to take it at your own pace, don't compare yourself with others and always ask for help when you need it 🙂
I'm doing biomedical science, first year,so I'm in pre-degree: natural sciences. I'm struggling a lot. I took 3 gap years, beyond my control. I hope when I clear my A-levels I'll be this invested and enthusiastic about it.
Loni Coco Puffs aww bless you, I took 2 gap years as well before uni. I imagine it might be challenging for you. Please talk to someone if you are struggling. It could be your academic tutor, supervisor or even ask help from friends if possible. I would never have survived my biomes degree without asking for help. I hope things get easier and you can overcome your challenges. Wish you all the best, hun.
Thank you so much for your advice. I'll definitely take you up on those suggestions.
I’m a bit late it seems but I have a question regarding the degree itself. Some colleges/universities don’t offer biomedical sciences in my country but instead have other majors such as molecular biology and microbiology with very similar modules as biomed. So my question is, that is if you know or have any idea, does getting a degree in similar majors reap the same benefits as biomed or is one superior to the other? Thx in advance!
Hello. That is a very good question. They can all be very confusing tbh but there are differences between these courses which can be hard to explain. In the UK, as far as I know, biomedical scientists work either in research or in the lab to help investigate and diagnose diseases. Microbiologists specialise more with microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and fungi. If you were unsure about what antibiotic to treat a patient with, a microbiologists advice would be very useful. It's a very important aspect of medicine as there are a lot of infections with growing antibitotic resistance. Finally, molecular biology just deals with things on a cellular level and looks at cells, their structure, their components such as DNA, and nucleic acids, etc. I hope that helps :)
Hi! I super loved the video! 💖 Is there a difference between medical biology and biomedical science? ☺️
Aww thanks hun. I'm not entirely sure. I think what would help is if you looked at the university's course structure and look at the modules the two courses offer. That would help you find out what the key differences are. Hope that helps :)
It depends on the uni I think biomed would be more efficient
Congratulation!! I want to study BS and would like to know which were the most difficult subjects for you each year? What are the most common areas of employment with this course?
Oh hello. Oh that's good that you want to study biomedical science. We had different modules and I think my least favourite module was anything to do with genetics. But everyone has their own preferences. You might love genetics haha.
Nice video very helpful, I can't wait to start biomedical science in January, is there any book you suggest for beginners? I love to be a little bit prepared before academic year.
Muhammed Saman hiya. Congrats on getting on the course. Honestly, I’d it’s your undergraduate degree, I’d say to wait to get there before looking for any books as the uni usually recommends books for you. I say this because the course structure at each uni can vary.
@@LoveQualified yes courses are depend on the university, i will wait and see, thanks :)
Muhammed Saman no problem at all. I wish you all the very best 🙏🏾
@@LoveQualified same too you 😊
Is there a lot of chemistry involved in the degree?
Can you make a video advising and showing how to get a first in essays and exams?
Hello,
I've made some videos in the past sharing tips on how to write your dissertation and also how I planned and wrote my critical review essays in undergrad. I'll leave the links below. In terms of exams, my biggest tip is to find the exam technique which works for you early on and stick to it. It also helps to try to stay consistent with revision. If you find a method which works for you, stick to it, practise past paper questions as much as you can and then don't hesitate to ask for help whenever you need it.

Did you always want to try med school? Never considered research? Or medical lab technician (NHS calls that Biomedical scientist I think, in the US and rest of the world it's MLT I think). Can you not directly go into med school in the UK? In Belgium you can...
Biomed Master hiya. Of course you can apply for medicine and go straight into it if you want. No I never wanted to be a biomedical scientist. I have some interest in research but it’s not something I want to do for the rest of my working life. I could have gone to med school but decided not to in the end. I’m more satisfied studying to become a physician associate ☺️
@@LoveQualified I see! Pardon my ignorance, but what does a physician associate do? Really never heard of that before!
Biomed Master no that’s absolutely fine. We all learn everyday ☺️
Physician associates are trained similarly to doctors but we are generalists who work alongside other healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat and manage patients. They are called physician assistants in the US and other countries. I have loads of videos on my channel about the role so please check them out if you want to find out more ☺️
@@LoveQualified ow cool! So more patient interaction then, I guess! Will check it out. I'll check if we have that jib role here in Belgium :) cheers!
Im really scared because my family booked a holiday which is important during december and i’ll be back on 12th of january, however the exam period starts on 7th january, what should i do? Im going to miss semester 1 exams?
naimajoonmyun Hello. Are you starting biomed at George’s this September?
Love Qualified no i applied for queen mary and westminister, this september im due to start
naimajoonmyun oh okay. Well I don't know much about the way things run there but I'm assuming you'll have to sit your exams unless there is really an exterminating circumstance. Might be worth speaking to someone at the uni?
Love Qualified i probably will do on my first week, but i dont think there is anyway to cancel this holiday, for personal reasons, i really hopet this doesnt affect anything? I heard there is a way to take the test online? Or have do deffer till the end of the year which isnt really nice, but im really scared and stressed out:(
Also im really worried about the work load and handling the stress because ive showed minor signs of depression from alevel exams :(
Also how many exams are there after the first semester? Exam period? Thats the thing i’m confused about, bevause hopefully the exam is a few days after the start if its just 1-2 exams?
Hello
Sorry for the late reply. Like I mentioned before, I'm not exactly sure how things run at Queen Mary so I wouldn't be able to say with certainty when the exams are and how many exams they have. I am sorry to hear that you feel stressed out. Perhaps consider talking it out with family or friends. And also for the exam questions, Id stongly recommend you email the university or call them up. They'll be in a much better position to give uou the advice you need. Sorry I can't give specific answers but I hope this helps.
Would you please mention the courses you took in first year??
Hello Amina. I believe I talked about all my modules for all three years in the video :)
Did you need any math or math recquired research while completing your courses in uni?
Hello.
We had to do some calculations in our tutorials in first year and also in third year when I worked in the lab, I also had to know how to calculate concentrations, volumes, masses, etc. It was pretty much quite the basic side of maths I would say and we had lots of practice in first year.
@@LoveQualified thanks a lot for the information.
mithila chakraborty no problem ☺️
How’s life now? I hope you’ve started med school and are happy xx
Rebecca Campbell hiya Rebecca. No I’m not in med school. I’m studying to become a Physician Associate as I mentioned in the video ☺️
Love Qualified that’s so cool! I looked at that as well! I’m applying to do medical science. May I ask, is there loads of lab work in biomedical science? As in, is that what most of the course is about?
Rebecca Campbell There is deffo lab work involved in Biomed. I had labs every week and we had mini tests at the end which counted towards our final grades. Not sure how other unis do it but here's deffo labs involved.
Hey, I am from India I would like to know how much did it cost you to study In st. George university.
ruby jha hiya. As a home student studying in the UK, tuition fees is currently £9,250 a year. Home students can take a loan for their tuition from student finance and also a loan for maintenance. As international students, the fees are more expensive but I’m not sure if the exact number. That’s something that you could verify by contacting the university. Hope that helps you :)
If i study biomed.. Can i be a medical laboratory technician?.. Can i work in a hospital or a anywhere?..
Hiya. There are a lot of options you can do with a biomedical science degree. I suggest you do some research online on what you need to get because i'm not entirely sure. Sorry I can't help much.
I m bms 1st year students, after complete this course which stream i would be take,, in pg.
Hello
Sorry I'm not sure I quite understand your question. Could you please explain what you mean by stream? Do you mean like a postgraduate course?
Ya, after complete this course in which department take in admission, what is salary, where got job. Explain?
Deepranjan singh u can do postgrad degrees like pharmacy or dentistry or u can become a biomedical scientist. If you need more help you can search it
Hey can I major in biomedical engineering if I have a bachelors degree in computer science with software engineering
Hiya hun, do you mean biomedical engineering as a masters programme?
Love Qualified yes am I on the right track
I want to do medicine,,,which do you suggest I go for prior between biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering
Hoya Hun. Okay so I think it'll depend on you really. I think most people tend to go for biomedical science and I don't know very much about biomedical engineering but I'd advice you do your research and find out about what the courses entail and then see what interests you. At the end of the day, I don't think it will matter which one you go for, you'd just have to choose which one you think is better suited for you. I hope that helps 🙂
What are the differences between biomedical sciences and biomedicine ?
Hiya, I'm not exactly sure about biomedicine but if you want to study biomedical science, then my best assumption is that it would be much better to study biomedical science. Biomedical science deals with some physiology, biochemistry and lab based practicals.
@Nelson Agree with Nelson! They mean the same. Semantics!
Can I get scholarship to London in biomedical?
Hello,
It depends on the university. You'd have to do research and check on the university's websites to see whether they offer scholarships and then you can apply for them.
I want to know is doing bio medical science degree is hard
Shaneh Balasana hello Shaneh thank you for watching and commenting. I can only speak for myself and not everyone. I think there were exciting parts of my degree and other parts I didn’t enjoy as much. I know not everyone enjoys biochemistry, practicals, etc. So I think it really depends on what you enjoy. It certainly would require you to put in the work but I think in terms of difficulty, it depends on what you’re interested in. I hope that helps.
@@LoveQualified Thank you very much for the response this really helped me theres another thing i want to know i havent started the degree yet my friend who's doing medicine told me theres lot of anatomy to study in bio medical ,anatomy that most medical student learns. I want to know is it true because i dont like anatomy much .
@@goodmusic5980 I think it depends where you do the course. At my university, we had to learn anatomy but in most universities, anatomy is not an essential component of the biomedical science course. So it'll be helpful if you check the course content for the univerisities you are applying to :)
What is the difference between medical laboratory science and biomedical scientist
I'm not entirely sure. I think if you google the two courses you can be able to find the difference.
Is there an entrance exam to study Biomedical sciences?
Vic Laté no there isn’t
Hy i am applying for bio medical sci
My main aim is medicine
So bio med sci is hard how will i cope
Sorry for the late response. Biomed and med are both tough courses even though they are different. I wouldnt compare your experience now to what your experience will be when you study medicine though. I think focus on getting through biomed. Ask for help from friends, university lecturers, tutors etc if you're struggling. There's a lot to learn and you build up so much of your character which will help you when you eventually study medicine
Cheesy fries
Definitely, it was god that did it lmao.
Indeed :)
