We understand that committing to a full-time degree can be challenging, so we have designed flexible CPD learning pathways for Biomedical Science modules.
Our carefully structured programs and dedicated support are designed to help you develop the skills and expertise that will elevate your professional practice.
For an applicant looking to top-up an undergraduate degree to obtain an Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) accreditation or Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) approval, please read the below guidance for the modules you can take to supplement your studies.
The current Biomedical Science degree modules that provide accreditation include the following list:
Please note: to be eligible for HCPC membership, after you have completed the Top Up modules, you will also be required to work in a hospital setting and complete the Registration Training Portfolio.
Once you have had your previous/current degree assessed by the IBMS, you will need to identify which modules we offer on a CPD basis that most closely match the core areas you require learning in.
Multiple top-up modules can be taken full-time or part-time, and attended according to the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science timetable. An indicative expectation of attendance is three hours per week for each module.
Please contact Professor Selwa Alsam with any questions and queries.
