They will always be interested in hiring graduates as they finish university, or hiring students as interns. If you think you are going to be more interested in staying in academia, check out what research facilities the university has. Explore their website, try to find out what their lecturers specialise in, and try to learn more about the research projects that current PhD students are doing.
It will give you an idea of the research areas that the university invests in. Some universities accept Biomedical Science as an alternative entry into studying Medicine, i. However, do not consider Biomedicine merely a feeder course! Most universities offer a very limited number of transfer places — many offer less than ten each year — and competition for those places is very high. So, while it is possible to use Biomedicine as a path into Medicine, it is not a recommended tactic.
Different universities have different criteria for transferring. Some universities will allow high-performing Biomedicine students to transfer into medicine after year one or two of their BioMed degree. Others will ask you to complete your degree in BioMed first. Transfers between courses are usually internal, meaning you cannot transfer to a different university. However, if you have finished your undergraduate degree, you can then apply to Medicine somewhere else.
If you are considering trying to use Biomedicine as a way to transfer into medicine, contact the university directly and discuss your options with them first. In Biomedicine, everything is aimed at medical applications , ranging from diagnostics to research.
