Master Biomedical Sciences - London - Greater London - 1 year masters biomedical sciences - I15314

During the course, you will develop a range of transferable skills that may be used to enhance your employment prospects and/or further your research opportunities in the UK or overseas. Each year it is anticipated that the majority of the intake for this course will be international students with experience in biomedical sciences and that, following completion of their studies, they will return to their own countries to pursue promotion or research opportunities. UK applicants are welcome although, again, relevant work experience is preferred.

You must possess at least one of the following: BSc Honours in biomedical sciences or in a closely related subject; a professional qualification of equivalent status and associated work experience; a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma in biomedical sciences; or an equivalent qualification that is deemed suitable by the course team. If your first language is not English you should normally have attained the equivalent of an IELTS score of at least 6.5, with a minimum score of 6.5 in each of the four components; or TOEFL (paper) score of at least 600 plus TOEFL written test at Grade 4.5 or above; TOEFL (computer based test) of at least 250; or Cambridge Proficiency, Grade B.
