What are the future scopes of studying biomedical science bachelors from Uk? Is it worth spending too much money on this course? If not then what course should a biology student take in Uk for best job opportunities there.

Ans: Hi,
Is the candidate from India or the UK? If the candidate is from India, it's important to compare the curricula of universities in the UK and India before making a decision. As an undergraduate, candidates will focus on the fundamentals of engineering and biology-related subjects. For postgraduate studies, the candidate can consider studying abroad. However, when selecting institutions, it’s essential to evaluate factors such as infrastructure and faculty rather than just rankings and placements. After completing a postgraduate degree, the candidate can think about job placements.

Regarding the course, it is excellent as it blends engineering with biology. However, the scope for this field in India is quite limited. This course focuses on medical devices and instruments, such as CT and MRI machines. In India, professionals in this area are often seen as service technicians rather than service engineers. If the candidate is intelligent and has an interest in entrepreneurship, there is significant potential for developing medical devices in the near future.

If the candidate is not interested in engineering and is purely focused on biology, they should complete their undergraduate studies in India. For postgraduate studies, they can then opt to study abroad. Biology students should consider health-related courses for a better future, ensuring that the course supports their career goals rather than the other way around.

ALL THE BEST.
