ObjectivesAccredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science this full-time programme has two possible modes of study: you can choose a four-year sandwich degree undertaking a one-year placement after the second year of study. This route provides eligibility for end-point verification of training for the IBMS Certificate of Competence. Alternatively, part-way through Year 1 you can apply for an integrated trainee placement element comprising three placements – ten weeks in Year 1, ten weeks in Year 2, and six weeks in Year 3.
