Our Life Sciences for Subjects Allied to Medicine Certificate in Higher Education will help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to progress to degree study in the life sciences and subjects allied to medicine. This intensive programme also includes modules to help develop your study and research skills and to assist with your personal development and planning of applications for further study. You will gain an overview of the biological, cellular and molecular worlds, raising fascinating questions about their underlying chemical functions. **Highlights** - Birkbeck's School of Science provides state-of-the-art, specialist laboratories and facilities at the heart of academic London. - In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF), in a joint submission with UCL, Biological Sciences at Birkbeck were ranked 11th in the UK, with a research environment supporting world-leading and internationally excellent research. - You will be taught by internationally distinguished experts, who work with governments and institutions around the globe to extend the boundaries of knowledge. - On successful completion, you may progress to the first year of a variety of degrees, including biology, chemistry, environmental science, geology and all health-related areas, such as radiography (requires biology with physics), pharmacy, osteopathic medicine, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, veterinary science, herbal medicine, clinical sciences, biomedicine and biomedical sciences. Students who already have a good first degree in another area and achieve high marks in their Certificate of Higher Education studies may also be accepted by some medical schools. - Students who pass this certificate programme are guaranteed a place on our BSc Biomedicine programme.

Entry Requirements for Advanced Entry are not listed for this Course.

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge and previous work experience as presented in your application, and on interview. You will need to demonstrate a good level of numeracy and English language skills, as well as a keen interest in the life sciences. Applicants are advised that this is a very intensive course, which requires a high level of commitment. All applicants for this programme first have to complete a short, self-assessment exercise at home in biology, chemistry and numeracy (or physics if appropriate) and then attend for interview with programme lecturers or the programme director. Those offered a place may be required to attend a summer top-up course or complete set pre-coursework to revise and improve their numerical and/or science skills before the start of the modules in September.
