Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study the scientific foundations of human health and disease, progressing from core biomedical knowledge towards clinical application. A course like this normally moves from anatomy, physiology and pathology, usually organised by body system, alongside communication skills and population health in the early years. You'll then progress to clinical rotations in hospital and primary care settings, working across medicine, surgery and specialties such as paediatrics, psychiatry and obstetrics. Student-selected components allow you to explore areas of particular interest, often involving research. In later stages, you'll typically undertake assistantships, electives and final assessments leading to professional registration.
Who it's for
This course suits students seeking part-time study in biomedical science. Most entrants hold another higher-education qualification; around 50% of accepted students arrive with prior higher-education experience. It's designed for those balancing study with work or other commitments, and for graduates or career-changers entering the biomedical field.

International students
What applying to Wrexham University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by Wrexham University; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check Wrexham University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Wrexham University and gov.uk before you apply.
