Hi to all you scientists! :) If you're interested in grabbing a copy of my revision notes, first class Biomedical Science dissertation or my e-book on how to write a first class essay in university, here is the link: www.kenjitomita.co.uk/shop
Thank you so much for your information ..I am going to start biomedical this year in uni...could you please tell which books will be better for biomedical
I've been given a co ditional offer for biomedical science starting October this year, I'm honestly scared to make this jump but thank you for this video it's helped me chill out so much.
The points you make in this video are so accurate. I'm currently a 2nd year Biomed student and oh man there is so much coursework... Also really not looking forward to my dissertation in final year.
I really appreciate the approach you took when making this video, I feel like most people who talk abt a difficult programme would really emphasize the hard parts /downsides without properly reassuring those who may be interested in the field that every program has its hard times and although objectively this degree may be one of the harder ones, the experience differs from person to person, every video I came accross highlights how challenging it is without shedding light on the importance of the insight you gain from the programme and how it opens many doors for future pursuits. Thank you for presenting the programme for what it is and for taking the time to reassure your viewers it means a lot im looking to go into the field but it seems like every other video's telling me not to because of how stressful it is. - coming from a senior in hs
I’m currently after my 2nd year of Biomedical Science at Northumbria University in Newcastle. It is indeed bery challenging but as well as that, it helps adapting to the fast-changing environment that we have in scientific and medical areas! It’s so challenging and truly helps you develop the critical skills in the field.
I start my foundation degree for Bio med in two days. I'm a bit gutted because the virus has totally changed things. It's my first year feel like I'm missing out on experiences.
Hi guys , well what can I say it has been very difficult. I only have a few weeks left of this year and not had one lab session. Moral is low and I have an exam in a few weeks and only had 2 lessons on campus all year. As far as meeting class mates it is again diffucult and not encoraged. Wish I could be more joyful and positive but I would be lying. Hope everyone is well and safe.
@@stephanieabdellah565 Tbh it depends on you, I remember going to a lot of open days. I liked: SGUL, KCL and QMUL a lot, the campuses were also good. I also wanted to study in London so I only ever considered London unis. I would say that before you decide, attend the open days and offer holder days. One uni might be amazing on paper but might not be right for you. Another thing you should consider is what you plan to afterwards, if you want to go into research, maybe consider a uni that has an IMBS accredited degree. If you want to go into medicine, maybe consider a uni that has a transfer scheme. Hope that helps!
Man for real, compared to all of medical school so far, I have never been as stressed out as I was in my 2nd and 3rd year of Biomed. I still think about those final year exams lmao.
As a diehard Biomed (up to PhD level), I HIGHLY appreciate this video, Kenji! Real and honest advice! 0:49 My undergrad in Ghent Uni Belgium was (is) highly theoretical, while there was much much hands-on coursework (essays, more practicals, labs) in my M.Sc. Honestly, the sooner the better, as you're being trained to become a researcher AND WRITING SKILLS are of major importance for this (grant application, literature review, research paper, communicating your research...) 6:09 Absolutely great to hear you say this! Couldn't agree more, and even though both working in the medical field, the scopes of biomed and medicine are indeed different (but often overlapping on some parts) Keep inspiring!
Hey Kenji, you might not see this comment as 4 days has past by since you've made this video, but I just wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to me. You aren't like other RUclipsrs who sugar coat or manipulate their videos in any way. You give out raw stuff, and such a great example to young men and women. My IGCSEs are coming up in 2 years. To make to med school, I'm following your example of having a good work ethic, and you are all the motivation and example I really need. There's literally nothing more inspiring than knowing that someone like you exists, and that I can keep going through adversity towards my goals. Thanks so much. Even though you aren't as popular now, if you keep persevering and if you're serious about RUclips, I'm sure you'll explode into social media stardom on the medical sector. Your potential is literally crazy, and you're amazing lad, I hope you know that! Ciao
I agree, as I am from Malaysia studied in the UK for Biomedical Science is pretty much challenging. I still remember during my final year, I had to catch up ALOT of coursework deadlines and final year project submission. In the end, everything totally worth it. In clinical settings, deadlines are pretty much shorter ! Damn those were the days. Those who wanting to study biomedical science, this video is pretty much accurate and relate.
I really don’t understand why people think, I only those who fail or don’t get into med school do biomed. I got 3A*s on my Cambridge A levels but still studying biomed. I chose it even tho people around me family friends everyone forced me to med school. It is such a underrated degree. I chose biomed as I’m personally interested in research and disease.
100% agree with everything you said I had the same experience with my first 2 years in biomed. I'm going into my final year this September (and also applying for medicine at the same time) and I'm definitely gonna take your advice about starting my dissertation early.
Hi! Have you had any biol chem background? I’m so worried because I’m going back to uni in my 30’ and I’m scared I won’t remember things. I’m taking a foundation years as well
just applied for biomed and this really helped clear the air on things. I did do construction management before and it was similar in the sense that the work load I had was massive. 30 hours of classes excluding time for assignments and study, with 25 to 30 hours of work on top, I made it work but it was exhausting, especially because I didn't expect the workload. This video really helped so ty :).
about the coursework, i did a btec so i quite used doing coursework, so that is good to hear and i not planning to do medicine, so thankfully i don't need that extra stress, i supposed i could do medicine, i just wait and see. i just cant wait to start now :D. i remember there are many people on my course that didn't start early and so they had 3 assignments to do and i did mine early and one time i bring in mine 4 weeks early XD.
Did you do btec level 3 applied science ? I'm going to do that this year and want to do biomedical science can you give me any tips and stuff you would of wanted to know before etc
Butterfly Simmer same! I’m on my last year for applied science and I also want to do Biomed to get into medicine :) are you planning to do the whole 3 year course or transfer into medicine after first year?
hum hi, so I'm not British and I'm a bit confused by your system, but I want to graduate there, so could you explain what's the difference between college and uni? Also, I've seen many people talking about undergraduate and I'm not sure what does it mean can you help me? If you're comfortable w it ofc (not a native English speaker too, sorry)
@@aestrea6795 college is also known as sixth form its essentially the last two years of high school where you have 2 years to study 3-4 subjects and do exams at the end of the two years which is what you use to get into university x hope that helps all the best
I got accepted into biomed at kings and completely worried about the stress! I applied as a joke; did an access course last year and didn’t think I’d pass yet alone meet the requirements 😂
Thank you, i am finishing highschool and watching your videos is helping me a lot! I needed this, espécialos bc i have anxiety problems but watching this is making me being prepared so I dont go through that, our that if I go through that it wont be as bad as it could be! And dont listen to the ppl saying that biomedicine is just for ppl who couldnt do medicine! Ppl like that are not worth it and they wont gros in life,bc thats bringing ppl down! Anyways keep being you, awesome video
This video is sooo useful to me as I am trying to see if biomedical science is the suitable degree for me. All of the other youtubers who did a biomedical science degree didn't give me the inspirational feeling this video gave me, so thank you soooo much
Thankyou so much... ❤ I'm currently going to pursue biomedical science and i was damn confused about my course.. But now I got the nerve I'm really glad I found your video✨❤ This gives me so much confidence now❤
Hey so I am leaving it very late to apply to university. I have had a lot of technical issues as of recently and have had to restart my whole application. I have an AWFUL habit of leaving assignments to the last minute. I will give myself the day of or the day before before I start work on the assignment. I have always done well doing it this way which isnt good. I'm doing a level 3 extended diploma in animal management but we do a lot of science stuff. Just worried about being able to complete the course. I'm going to go for a foundation year. I think it would be awesome to do a PhD in science but have no idea if I'm good enough. I'm good at manual labor and working to a deadline that's about it
hey lol i actually failed my med exam this year so i took biomed. I have my last attempts next yr and i really hope i pass bcz i do not want to do biomedical :/ If i fail again, i cant attemp the exact during 5yrs which is like 6yr "waste"
Hi kenji! I absolutely love your videos they inspire me so much..i am actually looking forward to study biomedical sciences in the uk as an international student and let me tell u i am pretty nervous😅.
Hi Kenji, I'm planning to do Biomedicine at university after y13 (hopefully in 2021 September). I am a bit anxious after all the points you made (not your fault - just the harsh reality I guess). I was wondering if Biomed courses are all mainly coursework based or if that is a preference of Birmigham and the way they do it. I personally do not want to pursue medicine after the degree and have heard many people say the job prospects are very slim if I only have a biomedicine degree. Of course it is going to be hard, but I just want to make sure I don't hit a dead end. Also, was the balance between social and work life good for you? You mentioned how the course is very challenging but I also want to make sure I have time to travel/make some unforgettable memories, if that makes sense. I am definitely prepared to put all the work in but just want to gather as much information about the course before applying obviously. There are so many universities to choose from, it's a bit overwhelming. But thank you for all the videos, you've been really helpful!
honestly same. these were the exact same doubts i had. i really love the course and the modules, and everything it entails but i’m so afraid whether i’ll be able to have some sort of social life and whether the prospects for jobs after just a Biomed degree is low. xx
@@aminarosh6780 So are you currently also a Y13 student starting in September also? Because I literally don't know what else I'd do lol. Maybe Biochemistry, but I feel like I could change during my first year of University if I didn't like the Biomed course since they're so similar. So I really want to do it, but I literally don't know what I'm going to do after the degree loooool. What do you suggest ahah? Plus how am i supposed to narrow down the Universities? There are sooo many, and I simply don't know where to start. Thanks for replying xoxo
yesss, i’m also finishing up A levels this year and planning to go this September. i first chose biochemistry as well, but i really loved what each module entails in BioMedical Sciences. and the human body is what interested me the most so i thought it would be a better decision. but i’m kinda having second thoughts hehe. also the way i narrowed down universities was based on Modules, Entry Requirements and overall prospects for that course in that university. You can look at the UK uni rankings for Biomedical sciences/ Biochemistry and choose the ones that are applicable. then you really need to go through the modules make sure you really like what you’ll be doing in years 1 through 3. and whether the components interest you. then check the entry requirements, to see whether you can actually achieve those grades or whether you can definitely do better than them. and once you’ve got some down.. i’m pretty sure you will be able to narrow down 5!
@@aminarosh6780 thank you so much! due to covid, we haven't had much support from school and i'm literally just winging it at this point so i'll follow that advice. it makes sense. researching can be super time-consuming and whenever i think about uni, I get super anxious. but thank you for the help! do you personally have any university recommendations (i don't particularly want to be a 'biomedical scientist', and for that you need to have an accredited course which i'm not too bothered about). but thanks again xoxo
In terms of job prospects after doing a biomedical science degree, I would just say decide what type of work you would be more inclined to do and do your research well in advance. At the very least make sure that your university is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), as if you did want to go into a biomedical science related field, you would need to do top up modules, which essentially is a waste of time and money. The second thing I would say is decide if you want to work as a biomedical scientist or any other healthcare scientist. If the answer is yes, chances are you would need complete a HCPC registration portfolio. In London it is very competitive finding an opportunity to do this after you graduate. So if you are interested in going into the field, do a placement year and try and complete your portfolio if you have the opportunity! This will increase your employment opportunities once you graduate 😊
amazing video, very informative and to the point. can you do a video about the differences between biomedical science, microbiology & biochemistry? thanks.
Hi thanks for your videos! I am starting my biomedical science studies at Northumbria University this year. I hope all will go well through. I am also having same ambitious to go to medicine , but I start biomedical science because my grades aren't good hehe :D I am also plannning to start a blog and hopefully a youtube or instagram ^_^ Thank you for inspiration!
Hey Kenji you always give me strength when things aren’t going to plan but I’ll be starting biomed in September so I can apply to graduate medicine as I didn’t get the grades this year (one grade off 😭) thank you for making these videos they’re super helpful to me ☺️
Hey.. I did well at GCSE but At A levels I couldn't do so well because of covid i had no teachers... So I cannot get med... but My passion is research on science and on the other hand serve people for their health I thought of going to biomed or biology... maybe within next 20 years I could be a surgeon... I don't want to live for work but Work to live so going to invest on other and collect revenue and profit throughout...
I've been accepted into biomedical science for next year, and I noticed at this particular university that there is a unit of mathematics. Did you find that there was a lot of maths within this course, and if so was it incredibly difficult?
I'm about to start my biomedical science course at Sheffield. I didn't get into undergrad medicine so I'm planing on doing medicine after the biomedical degree. I'm feeling very unsure about my decision and ideally just want to be doing medicine. Do you have any advice?
After you finish a master in Medicine, even a PhD, can you get a job as a medical doctor? I met a guy with biomedical science, PhD in nephrology, and finally, he became a Science teacher in a Secondary school uh...I would not study so much to become a Secondary teacher.
Thank you for the video! I’ll be going on to study biomedical science at Uni of Birmingham this year :) so excited yet nervous. Do you have any videos or useful web links on how to improve essay skills?
Thank you! Here's my video: m.ruclips.net/video/vqYuuueg9yw/видео.html. I also have an e-book on how to write an essay on my website www.kenjitomita.co.uk/shop
I did biomedical science route human biology and I look back and think how on earth did I do that! It was crazy.....good luck to all who venture this way. And btw, it's bloody hard core!
Having looked on the HCPC website, Westminster is one of the few (if only?) universities in London that offer an accredited HCPC degree, which is what you need to actually work as a registered Biomedical Scientist. Sounds like a no-brainer, then I looked at university rankings and unfortunately Westminster is one of the lowest in the country.. Study at Westminster and have a HCPC accredited degree or study somewhere with a higher ranking but not accredited... Difficult choice
Amazing video, it was very insightful! Does the website cover notes for Biomedical Science Years 1-3, or is it just for Medicine (Saw the bundle and was a bit confused)
Thanks so much! It's my medicine notes but year 1 of medicine was basically the same as year 1 of biomed so my notes were almost identical. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to start biomed
What made you decide to do biomed and then medicine? Was it simply a decision you made later or was it strategical? I’m hoping to take the same route as you so I was just wondering :)
Hey I wanted to ask if you thought there were other alternatives science degrees that can lead into medicine, I was looking at biomedical science but also noticed that some universities accept other degrees such as neuroscience, medical pharmacology and BioChemistry I wanted know if you thought these were as credible as Biomedical Science or if Biomedical Science is likely the most reputable of the medical sciences degree that can be used for graduate entry into medicine ?
Medicine is a WIDE field! You would be able to find something an area where mild tremors do not cause a concern to the care of anyone. Trust me, you're all good. :)
Thanks Kenji. Your videos have helped me nail my decision. I am a medical doctor with a personality that does not suit interacting with people. I would rather be sat in the lab working at something and writing. So I am working towards getting into biomed science via a masters in medical microbiology from an IBMS accredited university.Do you have any further advice for someone in my situation?
Hi Kenji! I wanted to ask would you turn down a Less prestigious medical school for Kings Biomed and whether there would be a chance to do research opportunities in/after Med school as well. BTW really love ur videos, please keep up the good content!
It depends on what my other reasons are but I'd definitely put a lot of priority onto a more prestigious uni :) And there would definitely be a lot of research opportunities! Here is a playlist talking about research opportunities: ruclips.net/p/PL57_jQXQ7eGjs-NETJKlDr5L7LtCkOF91 . Thanks so much!!
Hey, I'm new to tour channel. I absolutely loved this video and thank you so much for speaking about this as I'm applying to biomed degree next year 😄😄😄
Hi I love all your videos! I’m currently considering if I want to go into business or medicine and it’s great to get your inside view. I was just wondering what grades did u get for you GCSE’s? And did they impact you in any way? I’m getting my grades next week and because of corona I know I’m not going to get the grades I wanted so I’m nervous that it’s going to affect me.
Thanks so much! Here is a video about my grades: ruclips.net/video/rmiUS8j0i7o/видео.html . If you apply for medicine as a graduate your GCSEs don't really matter that much. If you apply as an undergraduate then they are relatively important. Each uni has their own GCSE requirements so check out their website entry requirements :)
Hello kenji, big fan of your channel so I am going to be starting biomedical science in a few months and basically I wanted to ask if your notes that your selling comes with all the notes I need for my first year cause I am thinking of making a purchase before the semester starts .pls and thank you
Hello, I am going to apply for Biomedical science degree next year. Are there any textbooks you would recommend? I would really like to start preparing myself in advance. Thank you very much for your help!
ahh!! so relaxed after seeing this video! otherwise the videos on youtube just scare the sh*T OUUTA ME as if this degree is the world's worst degree and i will only get 3 dollars per month as a salary! p.s can anyone tell me what's the (not from the web's) salary after studying biomed as an undergraduate in UK?
Thank You so much for the video. I'm thinking of starting Bio Medical science, and this was really insightful. Could you please point out some possible career paths after doing BMS without doing medicine?
Do i have to take chem and biology bc I hate chemistry. Also ik if you do biomedical you can honestly go into so many different jobs but I don’t want to go into medicine. But so many universities offer biological science but I literally don’t know what that is are they the same ?
It depends on the uni, some need chem and some don't. Biomed doesn't have plants and animals in the curriculum its more human biology related to medicine. Have a look at the curriculums on the uni websites
Can you get into biomedicine with a medicine personal statement. I’m applying kcl, st George for medicine and queen Mary, UCL and imperial for biomedicine?
Hey Kenji! Your videos are amazing!!❤. Currently I am doing Bsc in zoology. Could you please tell me if I am eligible to apply for post graduation in biomed?
Good day Sir Kenji Tomita! All students are required to do Dissertation whether they are studying as Bachelors, Masters, or a Doctorate Degree? Thanks in advance!
Hello, hope you are well. I'm a bit confused as to what you meant comparing the coursework for Biomed to Medicine. Are you saying that medicine has way more coursework than Biomed at Kings College?
hi kenji , I love your videos btw , I wanted to ask for your exams in biomed I've heard that some exams are essays. And if so what advice would you give to tackle them as essays are not my strong point.
Hey! In second year we had 1 essay as part of our exams which also had multiple choice questions and short answer questions. In final year all our exams were only essay based. I'd recommend learning a strategy to essay writing, you can start here:ruclips.net/video/vqYuuueg9yw/видео.html
How would you say biomed compares to neuroscience as I’m going to study this then hopefully graduate medicine , would you say it’s probably going to be similar ?
if im doing btec applied science in sixth form and do biomedical science in uni is it possible for me to do medicine? My gcses grades weren’t good enough
I'm considering Biomedical science as a occupation for the future. my math skills however isn't the best. If anyone could help me by answering if mathematics is important for this course/degree I would truly appreciate it.
I am not studying biomedical science but I have looked into it for uni. I would say that obviously you need some sort of maths skills since you will be doing lots of research and practical, but you don't need to be A-level maths type of person. You will get guidance from many.
I have a first class honours in Biomedical Science, and I never thought I was great at maths, but it's actually not all that bad... If you like statistics you'll be okay.
What career can you get from Biomedical science. I’m going to University next year. I want to do immunology in future. My course is a BSc Hons and has over 50% coursework.
There are many job opportunities after biomedical science. I actually have a video on this over on my channel. I just personally always wanted to become a doctor, it was my dream 😁
I’m about to begin my undergraduate degree at westminster and i was wondering what’s the best way u recommend to work on like essay and presentation skills
Hello I have applied for a biomedical science but i am still not sure if is if the right course for me. I want to work as a laboratory technician I mean I want to be the person who takes the blood and fluids samples from the nurses and analysis it to help the doctors to diagnose the disease is biomedical science the right course for what I want? In my contry we call it pathological analysis but in the Uk i am so confusing I don't know if it is biomedical science or not please help!
Hi bro, ur videos are so awesome....thank u for that.... I want to know that is it easy to get part time job in UK for bsc students as an international student?
Hi Kenji! I took my master degree as biomedical science this year, can u give me a recommendation for my thesis. Actually i am interested in stem cell😁✌🏻. Btw, i like ur video so much💛

Did you do btec level 3 applied science ? I'm going to do that this year and want to do biomedical science can you give me any tips and stuff you would of wanted to know before etc
@@pleasewait8124 yes I did. Just send me a pm. 😍
Butterfly Simmer same! I’m on my last year for applied science and I also want to do Biomed to get into medicine :) are you planning to do the whole 3 year course or transfer into medicine after first year?
Me just starting college already worried about what I'm going to do in uni 😓
hum hi, so I'm not British and I'm a bit confused by your system, but I want to graduate there, so could you explain what's the difference between college and uni? Also, I've seen many people talking about undergraduate and I'm not sure what does it mean can you help me? If you're comfortable w it ofc (not a native English speaker too, sorry)
@@aestrea6795 college is also known as sixth form its essentially the last two years of high school where you have 2 years to study 3-4 subjects and do exams at the end of the two years which is what you use to get into university x hope that helps all the best
I got accepted into biomed at kings and completely worried about the stress! I applied as a joke; did an access course last year and didn’t think I’d pass yet alone meet the requirements 😂
Are you at kings now? Is it fun to study biomed there?
Yo I am doing Acces course now and am struggling to choose between biomed and pharmacy. Can we get an update on how it's going for you please?
@@devilsadvocate2990did u end up choosing pharmacy ?
Thank you, i am finishing highschool and watching your videos is helping me a lot! I needed this, espécialos bc i have anxiety problems but watching this is making me being prepared so I dont go through that, our that if I go through that it wont be as bad as it could be! And dont listen to the ppl saying that biomedicine is just for ppl who couldnt do medicine! Ppl like that are not worth it and they wont gros in life,bc thats bringing ppl down! Anyways keep being you, awesome video
Especially* grow*
Sorry the corrector😭
Thank you so much and all the best!!
Thank you very much, it really gave me a lot of motivation to apply for Biomedical Science.
You are most welcome
Thanks bro...I will be going for interview next week
Absolutely love your videos! Its such a great help for those who are thinking to pursue biomedical sciences💕
Thank you so much 😁
Thank you so much for the explanation for each year. Means a lott man
You’re very welcome! :)
This video is sooo useful to me as I am trying to see if biomedical science is the suitable degree for me. All of the other youtubers who did a biomedical science degree didn't give me the inspirational feeling this video gave me, so thank you soooo much
Going to do Biomed in September 2021!
nervous
Me too 😩😩
@@icedcaramellattee SAME
Thankyou so much... ❤
I'm currently going to pursue biomedical science and i was damn confused about my course.. But now I got the nerve
I'm really glad I found your video✨❤
This gives me so much confidence now❤
Hey so I am leaving it very late to apply to university. I have had a lot of technical issues as of recently and have had to restart my whole application. I have an AWFUL habit of leaving assignments to the last minute. I will give myself the day of or the day before before I start work on the assignment. I have always done well doing it this way which isnt good. I'm doing a level 3 extended diploma in animal management but we do a lot of science stuff. Just worried about being able to complete the course. I'm going to go for a foundation year. I think it would be awesome to do a PhD in science but have no idea if I'm good enough. I'm good at manual labor and working to a deadline that's about it
hey lol i actually failed my med exam this year so i took biomed. I have my last attempts next yr and i really hope i pass bcz i do not want to do biomedical :/ If i fail again, i cant attemp the exact during 5yrs which is like 6yr "waste"
You got this!!
This man was not wrong about the amount of coursework there is.... Pls just give me one month where we don't have an essay to hand in I beg you PLS :(
Hi kenji! I absolutely love your videos they inspire me so much..i am actually looking forward to study biomedical sciences in the uk as an international student and let me tell u i am pretty nervous😅.
Don't worry you'll do great! All the best 😁
@@DoctorKenji Thank you soo much! ☺️
You are damn hardworking!
I've been predicted abb so I think I'll apply to biomed then post grad medicine but I'm a bit worried about the student loans
Do foundation medicine. GEM is so competitive
Hi Kenji,
I'm planning to do Biomedicine at university after y13 (hopefully in 2021 September). I am a bit anxious after all the points you made (not your fault - just the harsh reality I guess). I was wondering if Biomed courses are all mainly coursework based or if that is a preference of Birmigham and the way they do it.
I personally do not want to pursue medicine after the degree and have heard many people say the job prospects are very slim if I only have a biomedicine degree. Of course it is going to be hard, but I just want to make sure I don't hit a dead end.
Also, was the balance between social and work life good for you? You mentioned how the course is very challenging but I also want to make sure I have time to travel/make some unforgettable memories, if that makes sense.
I am definitely prepared to put all the work in but just want to gather as much information about the course before applying obviously. There are so many universities to choose from, it's a bit overwhelming.
But thank you for all the videos, you've been really helpful!
honestly same. these were the exact same doubts i had. i really love the course and the modules, and everything it entails but i’m so afraid whether i’ll be able to have some sort of social life and whether the prospects for jobs after just a Biomed degree is low.
xx
@@aminarosh6780 So are you currently also a Y13 student starting in September also? Because I literally don't know what else I'd do lol. Maybe Biochemistry, but I feel like I could change during my first year of University if I didn't like the Biomed course since they're so similar. So I really want to do it, but I literally don't know what I'm going to do after the degree loooool. What do you suggest ahah? Plus how am i supposed to narrow down the Universities? There are sooo many, and I simply don't know where to start.
Thanks for replying xoxo
yesss, i’m also finishing up A levels this year and planning to go this September. i first chose biochemistry as well, but i really loved what each module entails in BioMedical Sciences. and the human body is what interested me the most so i thought it would be a better decision. but i’m kinda having second thoughts hehe. also the way i narrowed down universities was based on Modules, Entry Requirements and overall prospects for that course in that university. You can look at the UK uni rankings for Biomedical sciences/ Biochemistry and choose the ones that are applicable. then you really need to go through the modules make sure you really like what you’ll be doing in years 1 through 3. and whether the components interest you. then check the entry requirements, to see whether you can actually achieve those grades or whether you can definitely do better than them. and once you’ve got some down.. i’m pretty sure you will be able to narrow down 5!
@@aminarosh6780 thank you so much! due to covid, we haven't had much support from school and i'm literally just winging it at this point so i'll follow that advice. it makes sense. researching can be super time-consuming and whenever i think about uni, I get super anxious. but thank you for the help! do you personally have any university recommendations (i don't particularly want to be a 'biomedical scientist', and for that you need to have an accredited course which i'm not too bothered about). but thanks again xoxo
In terms of job prospects after doing a biomedical science degree, I would just say decide what type of work you would be more inclined to do and do your research well in advance. At the very least make sure that your university is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), as if you did want to go into a biomedical science related field, you would need to do top up modules, which essentially is a waste of time and money. The second thing I would say is decide if you want to work as a biomedical scientist or any other healthcare scientist. If the answer is yes, chances are you would need complete a HCPC registration portfolio. In London it is very competitive finding an opportunity to do this after you graduate. So if you are interested in going into the field, do a placement year and try and complete your portfolio if you have the opportunity! This will increase your employment opportunities once you graduate 😊
amazing video, very informative and to the point. can you do a video about the differences between biomedical science, microbiology & biochemistry? thanks.
I agree !
Hi thanks for your videos! I am starting my biomedical science studies at Northumbria University this year. I hope all will go well through. I am also having same ambitious to go to medicine , but I start biomedical science because my grades aren't good hehe :D I am also plannning to start a blog and hopefully a youtube or instagram ^_^ Thank you for inspiration!
hey have you applied for medicine? how did it go?
did u manage to apply for medicine? how is it going?
Hey Kenji you always give me strength when things aren’t going to plan but I’ll be starting biomed in September so I can apply to graduate medicine as I didn’t get the grades this year (one grade off 😭) thank you for making these videos they’re super helpful to me ☺️
Thanks so much and I'm glad they help!
How’s it going??
Amazing video! Starting in September at Uni of Manchester hopefully x
Ayyy all the best!!
Hey.. I did well at GCSE but At A levels I couldn't do so well because of covid i had no teachers... So I cannot get med... but My passion is research on science and on the other hand serve people for their health I thought of going to biomed or biology... maybe within next 20 years I could be a surgeon... I don't want to live for work but Work to live so going to invest on other and collect revenue and profit throughout...
I love this !!
You read ‘the Power of Now’? Cool.
I've been accepted into biomedical science for next year, and I noticed at this particular university that there is a unit of mathematics. Did you find that there was a lot of maths within this course, and if so was it incredibly difficult?
There wasn't much at all and it wasn't difficult!
This was so helpful!! Thank you so much :))
You're welcome 😁
Thank you very much indeed this was so helpful
You're very welcome!
I'm about to start my biomedical science course at Sheffield. I didn't get into undergrad medicine so I'm planing on doing medicine after the biomedical degree. I'm feeling very unsure about my decision and ideally just want to be doing medicine. Do you have any advice?
Do your best in biomed and get as much experience as you can!
Thank you for this video :)
Glad it was helpful!
After you finish a master in Medicine, even a PhD, can you get a job as a medical doctor? I met a guy with biomedical science, PhD in nephrology, and finally, he became a Science teacher in a Secondary school uh...I would not study so much to become a Secondary teacher.
Thank you for the video! I’ll be going on to study biomedical science at Uni of Birmingham this year :) so excited yet nervous. Do you have any videos or useful web links on how to improve essay skills?
Thank you! Here's my video: m.ruclips.net/video/vqYuuueg9yw/видео.html. I also have an e-book on how to write an essay on my website www.kenjitomita.co.uk/shop
Hi plz tell is biomedical science study is worth it and it's easy I m going this field in January Intake in uk
I did biomedical science route human biology and I look back and think how on earth did I do that! It was crazy.....good luck to all who venture this way. And btw, it's bloody hard core!
I'm a biomedical science student fresher first year 😭😭wish me good luck.
All the best!!
Having looked on the HCPC website, Westminster is one of the few (if only?) universities in London that offer an accredited HCPC degree, which is what you need to actually work as a registered Biomedical Scientist.
Sounds like a no-brainer, then I looked at university rankings and unfortunately Westminster is one of the lowest in the country.. Study at Westminster and have a HCPC accredited degree or study somewhere with a higher ranking but not accredited... Difficult choice
Heyy how did you manage 😅 I'm starting my first year and biomedical science is the pathway to medicine.
Amazing video, it was very insightful! Does the website cover notes for Biomedical Science Years 1-3, or is it just for Medicine (Saw the bundle and was a bit confused)
Thanks so much! It's my medicine notes but year 1 of medicine was basically the same as year 1 of biomed so my notes were almost identical. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to start biomed
so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
What made you decide to do biomed and then medicine? Was it simply a decision you made later or was it strategical? I’m hoping to take the same route as you so I was just wondering :)
I wanted to do Medicine but didn't get the grades!
This is helping me so much!!! I just got my GCSE results and didn’t get the grades i wanted so i need to plan my life out
All the best!!
Hey I wanted to ask if you thought there were other alternatives science degrees that can lead into medicine, I was looking at biomedical science but also noticed that some universities accept other degrees such as neuroscience, medical pharmacology and BioChemistry
I wanted know if you thought these were as credible as Biomedical Science or if Biomedical Science is likely the most reputable of the medical sciences degree that can be used for graduate entry into medicine ?
All the courses you mentioned are feasible and aren't less good than Biomed!
Kenji Tomata, I have a question to ask, sometimes i have mild tremors in my hands should i Study medicine?
I don't see why this would be a problem! :)
Medicine is a WIDE field! You would be able to find something an area where mild tremors do not cause a concern to the care of anyone. Trust me, you're all good. :)
Thanks Kenji. Your videos have helped me nail my decision. I am a medical doctor with a personality that does not suit interacting with people. I would rather be sat in the lab working at something and writing. So I am working towards getting into biomed science via a masters in medical microbiology from an IBMS accredited university.Do you have any further advice for someone in my situation?
To be honest you sound like you're on the right track already. Keep it going!
Thanks Kenji.
I've been offered a place in college for biomedical science. I'm kind of stressed as it's the level 3 extended diploma instead of an A level :,)
Don't worry you got this!!
Can you make a vid on. What to do before starting your course. like study wise?
Hi Kenji! I wanted to ask would you turn down a Less prestigious medical school for Kings Biomed and whether there would be a chance to do research opportunities in/after Med school as well. BTW really love ur videos, please keep up the good content!
It depends on what my other reasons are but I'd definitely put a lot of priority onto a more prestigious uni :) And there would definitely be a lot of research opportunities! Here is a playlist talking about research opportunities: ruclips.net/p/PL57_jQXQ7eGjs-NETJKlDr5L7LtCkOF91 .

Hey, I'm new to tour channel.
I absolutely loved this video and thank you so much for speaking about this as I'm applying to biomed degree next year
😄😄😄
Thank you so much!!
Hi I love all your videos! I’m currently considering if I want to go into business or medicine and it’s great to get your inside view. I was just wondering what grades did u get for you GCSE’s? And did they impact you in any way? I’m getting my grades next week and because of corona I know I’m not going to get the grades I wanted so I’m nervous that it’s going to affect me.
Thanks so much! Here is a video about my grades: ruclips.net/video/rmiUS8j0i7o/видео.html . If you apply for medicine as a graduate your GCSEs don't really matter that much. If you apply as an undergraduate then they are relatively important. Each uni has their own GCSE requirements so check out their website entry requirements :)
Hello kenji, big fan of your channel so I am going to be starting biomedical science in a few months and basically I wanted to ask if your notes that your selling comes with all the notes I need for my first year cause I am thinking of making a purchase before the semester starts .pls and thank you
They may not be all the notes you need for first year as each university is different but I'd say that it would cover the majority!
Hello,
I am going to apply for Biomedical science degree next year.
Are there any textbooks you would recommend?
I would really like to start preparing myself in advance.
Thank you very much for your help!
would be nice if u could recommend me some if u got it already :))
Hi, this has been really helpful thank you! Did you finish your Biomed degree before moving to medicine?
ahh!! so relaxed after seeing this video! otherwise the videos on youtube just scare the sh*T OUUTA ME as if this degree is the world's worst degree and i will only get 3 dollars per month as a salary!
p.s can anyone tell me what's the (not from the web's) salary after studying biomed as an undergraduate in UK?
did you do biomedical science where the first module talks about biomolecules and the course is a BSc ..... also what did you do after that..
the introduction of a dissertation is 3500 words wtf. sorry had to get that out
thank you for the insight, btw is biotech similar to biomedicine, & if not, what's the difference?
Thank You so much for the video. I'm thinking of starting Bio Medical science, and this was really insightful.
Could you please point out some possible career paths after doing BMS without doing medicine?
I have a full video on that bro!
@@DoctorKenji Yeah mate watched! Thanks.
Do i have to take chem and biology bc I hate chemistry. Also ik if you do biomedical you can honestly go into so many different jobs but I don’t want to go into medicine. But so many universities offer biological science but I literally don’t know what that is are they the same ?
It depends on the uni, some need chem and some don't. Biomed doesn't have plants and animals in the curriculum its more human biology related to medicine. Have a look at the curriculums on the uni websites
Can you get into biomedicine with a medicine personal statement. I’m applying kcl, st George for medicine and queen Mary, UCL and imperial for biomedicine?
A few of my friends did that so my answer would be yes!
Kenji Tomita Ok thanks and love your vids!
Pharmacy versus medicine versus dentistry which pays more money
Check this website out for that: www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job
Hey Kenji! Your videos are amazing!!❤. Currently I am doing Bsc in zoology. Could you please tell me if I am eligible to apply for post graduation in biomed?
Thanks so much!! It depends on the university you want to apply to - have a look at their entry requirements on their website
Good day Sir Kenji Tomita! All students are required to do Dissertation whether they are studying as Bachelors, Masters, or a Doctorate Degree? Thanks in advance!
You usually have to do one for them all!
I'm pretty weak in physics and maths. Chemistry and biology is the subject i like. Should i go for bsc in biomed
Yes as there's not much physics and maths i biomed
@@DoctorKenji i was planning to study bsc biomedical science in uk. Most of students are saying its a regretting course
Hello, hope you are well. I'm a bit confused as to what you meant comparing the coursework for Biomed to Medicine. Are you saying that medicine has way more coursework than Biomed at Kings College?
No Biomed had way more! :)
@@DoctorKenji Thank You :)
hi kenji , I love your videos btw , I wanted to ask for your exams in biomed I've heard that some exams are essays. And if so what advice would you give to tackle them as essays are not my strong point.
Hey! In second year we had 1 essay as part of our exams which also had multiple choice questions and short answer questions. In final year all our exams were only essay based. I'd recommend learning a strategy to essay writing, you can start here:ruclips.net/video/vqYuuueg9yw/видео.html
Love your videos so much! They’re so helpful :)). I had a question about how good (if you know) a biosciences foundation year is?
Thanks so much! :) What do you mean by how good? In what regard?
Kenji Tomita how helpful would you say it is for going into the biomed for the next three years?
Hey Kenji amazing video as always! If you don’t mind me asking, at what age did you enter medicine?
Thank's so much! I started med school at 21
Hi, please tell me if you liked school and how much you got in your gcses.
How would you say biomed compares to neuroscience as I’m going to study this then hopefully graduate medicine , would you say it’s probably going to be similar ?
Unfortunately I don't know too much about neuroscience but biomed is definitely going to be more similar to medicine!
if im doing btec applied science in sixth form and do biomedical science in uni is it possible for me to do medicine? My gcses grades weren’t good enough
I'm considering Biomedical science as a occupation for the future. my math skills however isn't the best. If anyone could help me by answering if mathematics is important for this course/degree I would truly appreciate it.
I am not studying biomedical science but I have looked into it for uni. I would say that obviously you need some sort of maths skills since you will be doing lots of research and practical, but you don't need to be A-level maths type of person. You will get guidance from many.
I have a first class honours in Biomedical Science, and I never thought I was great at maths, but it's actually not all that bad... If you like statistics you'll be okay.
You definitely don't have to be good at maths for Biomed! Just simple high school maths
Top ten things I wish I'd known,
Number 1: university's give you homework
What career can you get from Biomedical science. I’m going to University next year. I want to do immunology in future. My course is a BSc Hons and has over 50% coursework.

Hello I have applied for a biomedical science but i am still not sure if is if the right course for me. I want to work as a laboratory technician I mean I want to be the person who takes the blood and fluids samples from the nurses and analysis it to help the doctors to diagnose the disease is biomedical science the right course for what I want? In my contry we call it pathological analysis but in the Uk i am so confusing I don't know if it is biomedical science or not please help!
Because you did biomedical science and then did medicine what was the process like did they look at GCSEs etc
are all the essays/coursework the same. in other words are the things you've done the same as the students next year and last year
Hi bro, ur videos are so awesome....thank u for that.... I want to know that is it easy to get part time job in UK for bsc students as an international student?
Hi Kenji! I took my master degree as biomedical science this year, can u give me a recommendation for my thesis. Actually i am interested in stem cell😁✌🏻. Btw, i like ur video so much💛
