Hey,
At manchester neuroscience, pharmacology and biochem are all on the same school. So whichever if these you apply to, you can transfer between programs easily during your first year. This is mainly due to the fact that they like to give you a basic insight to all areas in your first year, so every one does pretty much the same.
How about genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and physiology? Same school too?The majority of people who transfer are the ones who start on biology/biomed and then go onto one of the more specialised ones, I haven't really heard of it happening the other way around. Read around a bit, look at module descriptions four the different degrees at different unis and decide what interests you most. If you're struggling to find them, pm me your email and I'll send you the manchester ones.
I tried reading, but there're so many universities and most of them offer more or less the same topics! I always ended up getting more and more confused..Some unis don't even have descriptions for the modules.Did you really go through each and every uni's modules before deciding to apply to Manchester? Is yours in a list? Ok, I'll pm you. Sorry to confuse you, life sciences is the name of the school in which all these degrees are, but admission is done in bulk because so many people change program. For instance there were 240 biomeds in my first year, but only 19 genetics. Things even out a lot more by second year.
Hmmm..isn't there a degree with the name 'Life Sciences' on its own? I thought I saw that in the prospectus?The majority of unis (including manchester) do it like this:
1st - 70%+
2:1 - 60%-69%
2:2 - 50%-59%
3rd - 40% - 49%
You'll get a percentage score for each module, the score for the year will be the average of this.
I've heard from someone else, to get a first we will need something like 85%? Anything else?
