 ** The Institute of Biomedical Science accredits Biomedical Science degrees (IBMS) for a period of five years. The Biomedical Science BSc is subject to re-accreditation by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and our application for re-accreditation is currently pending. IBMS accreditation ensures that the academic content of the course meets the standards of proficiency for the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC regulates standards for a variety of health professions, including that of Biomedical Scientist. Registration with the HCPC requires additional postgraduate experience in an appropriate lab environment
