Just wanted to share some good news about the Journal of Child and Adolescent Trauma (JCAT). Our Impact Factor has risen to 1.7, with a five-year Impact Factor now of 2.3. Our average duration to first decision has reduced to 59 days, and we had 345,302 downloads in 2023.

Our UGenie Welcome Packs are now ready for our first cohort of year 14 students this Monday (5th)! We can't wait to get started Biomedical Sciences.

Wow! Brilliant results! Definitely a new generation of molecular biologists and genetic engineers in the making!

The UGenie team Andrew McDowell, Rachelle Irwin, Sarah Atkinson have enjoyed getting to know all our students, and we wish them every success with their continued A-level and BTEC studies. We hope to see them soon Biomedical Sciences as undergraduates!

A nice article in Ulster University News on UGenie 2024 Rachelle Irwin Sarah Atkinson Biomedical Sciences ulster.ac.uk/news/2024/augu…

Delighted to hear this: Optometry, Ophthalmics & Orthoptics #1 in the UK (Complete University Guide) Nutrition and food science #1 in the UK (Guardian) Biomedical Science #5 in the UK (Guardian) Biology #14 in the UK (Guardian) - up 14 places on last year theguardian.com/education/ng-i…
