Which has a higher employability rate: Biomedical Science or Nutrition?

Or does it depend on the university.

I got and offer on:

Nottingham Uni (Higher uni) - Nutrition
Brunel University (Lower Uni) - Biomedical Science

Can somone please direct me to a site where they show the employability statistics by degree/course?...I've been looking all over :frown:

Thanks

If it is not accredited then I would go to Nottingham. It will look better on your CV than a uni that a lot of people haven't heard of.

However maybe have a think about what you would like to do as a career?

Regardless of the university, you should choose the course which you find most interesting.

I havent read into nutrition much, but im guessing itll be a bit of anatomy and physiology, a bit of food biochemistry and metabolism, and then learning how to structure nutrition plans for patients such as diabetics, eating disorders etc.

Whereas biomedical science encompasses a MASSIVE spectrum of fields within science. The career prospects are awesome. If the uni choice is worrying you, just aim for a first class honours and you will be fine :smile:

It is not accredited - which is very very good unless you want to be ONLY a hospital/private biomedical scientist. If you do want to do this, Brunel can put you into further training to do this, but the degree gives you a sound understanding in medical sciences giving you a platform to multiple careers not just a bimedical scientist reserach, teaching, clincal research, being a biomedical/clinical scintist, biochemistry, or medicine and dentistry. Do which ever one you prefer, if you have a deep and pssionate interest in science - do biomed!

Nutrition does not equal Dietetics

Dietitians are respectable, registered health professionals

Nutritionist = that awful poo women Ms McKeith

Okay I know this is an extremely old thread but I'm unsure whether to do biomed/ dietetics.

I want to do a personal statement to link them however, pe ople say it's not a good idea
