Career Opportunity

Career Opportunity

Students on the Applied Biomedical Science degree pathway need to already be employed as healthcare professionals in approved laboratories, whether in hospital or private diagnostic practices. Many students also undertake work experience at other stages of the course, often at a high professional level. Our location in London facilitates you in finding such experience, with numerous opportunities available within the biomedical laboratories in London, the UK and abroad.

Our aim is to foster a culture of gathering expertise, building professional networks, and expanding academic learning with the knowledge and skills gained in laboratory environments.
