Teaching
You'll be taught by an experienced teaching team with a wide range of expertise and professional experience.
How we'll teach you
You'll be taught by an experienced teaching team who have a wide range of expertise and professional experience.
The team includes academics, professional practitioners, and technical staff. Graduate teaching assistants or trained postgraduate research students may also have input into your teaching under the supervision of the module leader.
You will learn by attending lectures, seminars, laboratory sessions and tutorials. Seminars and workshops and laboratory sessions are a great opportunity to discuss what you have learnt in lectures and through independent study with your peers and tutors.
Seminar topics range from skills rehearsals following lead lectures in anatomy and physiology to reflective, interactive, problem-based learning addressing the assessment and nursing management of children, young people and their families.
Lecturer-led laboratory sessions will allow you to develop knowledge in your subject area. This will be supported by a range of practice-based activities, both at University and in a practice environment.
Most seminar groups have about 30-35 students.
For one-to-one support, you will meet with either your personal tutor or module leader. Mentors, practice link lecturers and experienced clinicians will also be available to support you throughout your course.
Work is divided into credits of approximately 10 hours of study time. You will need to complete 120 credits per year, which are broken down into modules of typically 30 credits.
Throughout the course, we emphasise the importance of developing practical skills, and the course is split equally between theory and practice. By the end of the course, you will have completed 2,300 hours of clinical training.
You will be studying at our new West Stand facility at StoneX stadium and our north London campus in Hendon. There is a free daily shuttle bus on weekdays between the two locations.
Timetable
Whether you are studying full or part-time – your course timetable will balance your study commitments on campus with time for work, life commitments and independent study.
We aim to make timetables available to students at least 2 weeks before the start of term. Some weeks are different due to how we schedule classes and arrange on-campus sessions.
Typical weekly breakdown
During your first year, your weekly timetable will typically consist of:
- 2–4 hours of lectures
- 4–6 hours of seminars, which will incorporate case scenario discussion, group work and presentations
- 2–6 hours of supervised practice and demonstrations in the clinical skills lab
- 2 hours of support from the Learning Enhancement Team (LET) for academic writing and 4 numeracy sessions per academic year
- 1 hour for personal professional development (a total of 6 sessions per academic year)
Teaching vs independent learning
Outside of teaching hours, you’ll learn independently through self-study which will involve reading articles and books, working on projects, undertaking research, and preparing for assessments including coursework, presentations and exams.
Practice-based learning amounts to 50% of the entire course and you must complete a set amount of hours to meet the professional body’s clinical criteria for professional registration.
Here is an indication of how you'll spend your time:
Year 1
| Percentage | Hours | Typical activity |
|---|---|---|
| 15% | 210 | Teaching, learning and assessment |
| 36% | 482 | Independent learning |
| 50% | 692 | Practice-based learning |
Year 2
| Percentage | Hours | Typical activity |
|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|
| 15% | 272 | Teaching, learning and assessment |
| 35% | 618 | Independent learning |

How can the Biomedical Science BSc support your career?
Employment prospects for biomedical scientists are excellent. You could find yourself working in laboratories (for universities, hospitals and research centres), and also within the NHS, public health, veterinary and agricultural, pharmaceutical or forensic fields.
A number of graduates have pursued careers in education, clinical trials management, medical start-up companies, as sales representatives in biosciences companies or working within biomedical consultancy. Our graduates now work for organisations such as Anthony Nolan Trust, The Institute of Cancer Research, GSK, CEGX, Frontiers and Medical News Today.
You can also explore further academic research on PhD and MSc programmes at universities across the UK and abroad.
If you do additional placement time in a hospital laboratory (either on the Clinical Laboratory Placement programme of Biomedical Science, or by working in an accredited hospital laboratory after graduation), you'll gain Healthcare Professions Council registration, allowing you to work as a professional biomedical scientist.

Student Testimonials
Before she graduated, Keri secured a job at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on the rotation programme for newly qualified nurses.
I like a challenge. Nothing is simple with little people! London is a fantastic city to be a student. It has something for every budget and you can be anything you want and no one will bat an eyelid. And I've found London's cultural diversity very beneficial for my training.

Nursing (Child) BSc graduate
Rupia now works as a Senior Care Support Worker in a children's care home.
Middlesex is a very good university to study at and the atmosphere in general is brilliant.
Of the different aspects of the course, I would say I enjoyed and benefited from the practical work experience and the friendly supportive lecturers. I learnt a lot while studying and this has helped me to work at the care home and build up to being in a senior care role. After university I found it easy to secure a job which I'm still doing. This has supported me financially and enabled me to settle down and have a family.
Rupia Kahn
Nursing (Child) BSc graduate
As a part of my learning experience at Middlesex I was required to complete a 2 week placement with a charity/organisation of my choice and I decided to volunteer for the Rainbow Trust.
Volunteering with Rainbow Trust has been great. I’ve learnt about the different types of conditions that babies and children have. It has also strengthened my confidence in myself, interacting with these children and their families and I feel like I have really grown in confidence. Some children I have come across on my ward placements have similar conditions to those I saw during my voluntary placement. Volunteering definitely helped me understand and cope with these situations. It helped me get a grasp of how the family are feeling as you see them in their homes.
I think having a voluntary placement is extremely important as it allows students to choose something new and something they are interested in.
Volunteering was an absolutely amazing feeling. I never expected to be back at the hospital I was born at and being able to help people in similar situations to how I was when I was younger really made me feel happy.
I can’t say I’ve had one best moment as I’ve had many. However, being appreciated and seeing the difference you make to people’s lives is such a wonderful feeling. It motivates me and makes me feel very lucky to be caring for people during difficult moments of their lives.
When I graduate I hope to go back to university to complete a health visiting course and become a health visitor.

We’ll carefully manage any future changes to courses, or the support and other services available to you, if these are necessary because of things like changes to government health and safety advice, or any changes to the law.
Any decisions will be taken in line with both external advice and the University’s Regulations which include information on this.
Our priority will always be to maintain academic standards and quality so that your learning outcomes are not affected by any adjustments that we may have to make.
At all times we’ll aim to keep you well informed of how we may need to respond to changing circumstances, and about support that we’ll provide to you.
