Best parts of the course is when you have access to all of the available facilities and the lecturers and technicians have the time to help you get to grips with the techniques. It's mostly taught on campus in the classrooms or studio areas and the online learning tools used for communication whilst being a little complex at first soon become easy to understand and use. The equipment they have in the stores is pretty industry leading too and a joy to work with. The worst parts of the course are when there are fixed times to retrieve equipment from the media stores and it's a little limiting, especially when the person doing the distribution and record keeping is already stressed with his day job. Not his fault but it can be tricky sometimes to get equipment booked out and booked in... Not the lecturers fault at all but there has been some industrial action that has impacted learning at the uni this year, on top of the covid challenges that were already causing issues. If the universities (not a single university) treated the staff fairly and helped retention then this might not have occurred. We have also had a turnover of lecturers on the course as they are known as visiting lecturers but it feels a little disorganised and unfair on these professionals to treat them as flexible labour. I'm aware of flexible labour and the need for it in the economy but it feels like a generall reliance on it in this case.

Contact with the tutors has depended upon the tutors themselves and their workloads. My supervisory team changed mid-course and this changed my programme and in some ways increased the level of support I received. There is a lot of online support and training to access.

I love how the course is taught as online never worked for me. By allowing myself to be in University, it is allowing me to receive higher than I predicted. The worst part is the actual students’ belonging. I am reminded in all of my lectures that I barely know anyone, and that there is an entire school outside of my classrooms.

The accommodation is amazing! No doubt about that. Apart from a few minor issues with my room and the kitchen, and these being sorted ASAP, this is the best Uni accommodation by far!!!

Biomedical Science is a laboratory based subject dealing with all the domains in Biology and Para-medicine. A Biomedical Scientist uses principles of biological sciences to design innovative health care systems. Our daily work involves researching, designing and creating a new biomedical technology, The course has five modules of which three are compulsory. In total, we have four modules per semester. Depending on each module, there is a series of content of which the most common ones are assignments, announcements, quizzes, panoptos ,video recordings, assessments, exams and assigned readings. In class, the main method of teaching is power point presentations done by teachers while asking questions to students while the lecture goes on. Aside from that, students have weeks of case study presentations which are been assessed and commented on by the teachers. Online classes are usually done when teachers have a difficulty in coming to class, so, we use the on line apps, means to have he online class depending on the preferences of the teacher. During online classes, students are called to be more active in participating. The teachers are very friendly and ready to assist students in their academic misunderstandings making themselves available on phone through e-mail and physically through SAMS or immediately after lectures. We have class once a week for students having as optional Module Haematology and twice a week for students having as optional module Microbiology. In total, we have we have 5 hours per week for lectures. One good thing is that, our teachers keep on reminding that, we should always have in mind the career we will pursue after our training. My Masters programme is not with placement, but we students are called to look for placements ourselves as well as internships which can be found on myWLV app precisely on the career section. Actually, the students can find a hospital, research laboratory ,apply and do the placement either after graduating or during studies. Internships are similar to placements in the sense that the student looks for it and can be done while studying or after graduating but is different from placements in the sense that, the student is more of a worker during placements and more of a learner during internships. There are several excellent aspects of Biomedical Sciences. According to career guide on Indeed, the average salary of a biomedical scientist is 82,084 dollars per year and may vary depending on the competence of the scientist. As a Biomedical engineer, I may have the opportunity to create medical devices that improves and saves lives. We have the opportunity to work in a variety of locations such as laboratories, hospitals as well as manufacturing plants depending on what matches our preferences. Despite the good aspects of Biomedical Sciences, there are bad aspects too. Biomedical scientists work on crucial and time sensitive projects, so we may work during nights, weekends in order to complete necessary requirements. Aside from that, in order to help a project succeed, biomedical scientists must acquire all the basic skills in data entry in several statistical software which can be very stressful. A biological scientist must have the breadth of knowledge , that means having understanding in a variety of fields ,from chemistry to technology thus not specialising or focusing on one unique area. Biomedical Scientist are exposed to risks of injury as we may encounter hazardous materials be it in research laboratories, hospitals or food industries. Nevertheless, we have teachers, academic coaches, supervisors here in the University of Wolverhampton who are presently continually preparing our minds psychologically and morally in order for us to have the courage in the future when facing all these challenges. We Biomedical Science students have to have a consistent contact with our teachers because they help us academically and morally in order to achieve our dream goals. Thanks..

The life and facilities are up to standard.

The tutors lack industry experience, a downside for anyone looking to learn from professionals. However they are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Wolverhampton is extremely diverse. The cost of living is as to be expected from an English city. There are some employment opportunities but not loads. Public transport here is great and all very close to the uni. Sometimes there are safety concerns around the city, some crime and violence. But probably not more than would be expected in an English city.
