Pathology how exactly?
like a clinical pathologist or like a pathology department in a hospital, where they test all the samples?

the Latter.
People always need pathologists. But with my biomedical science degree, in aus at least, I can work as a lab tech in hospitals with it. So hopefully I can do that.

Did I link you to the IBMS?
you can work as a lab tech with your degree - but it'd be a total waste, and also you only get paid about £14k. If you're serious about working over here as an NHS biomedical scientist, I would contact the lab manager at the hospital you want to work at and see if they'll let you complete your portfolio. It takes about a year full time, and I highly doubt they'd be able to pay you, but it means that when you finish your degree you'll be qualified and thus much more employable if you did choose to move over here.

thanks for the tip. I think you did link me to it yeah.
14K in pounds is still about 22K in AUD, which is more then enough to live on.

Depends where you live
it's do-able, but you'd never be able to get a mortgage on your own and probably not with anyone else who was on roughly the same wage. It's also a pathetic graduate wage and you wouldn't be fulfilling your potential, I've done it myself and it's largely admin :)
