I've had offers from:
York -Biochemistry
Leicester - Medical biochemistry
UEA - Biomedicine
Nottingham - Biochemistry
Kent - (insurance uni) biomedicine

I am finding it rather difficult to decide my firm choice, any suggestions?

which ones have you been to out of your selection? when i went to universitys i just got a 'feeling' like when i knew i wanted to be there or, for example, notts, i just felt like it was all very nice and i couldn't tell you what it was i didn't like it just didn't seem like where i wanted to be

The problem was I liked Leicester, York and UEA, so it was difficult to eliminate. I didn't like the feel of Nottingham either so snap
In the end, I chose York, I followed my heart. Cheers for your help!

Not sure but I (think) Bath is a bit better for biosciences

Applied to Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Aberdeen and Strathclyde.
GCSE's: 3A*'s, 6A's
AS:AAA(Biology, Chemistry and Geography) Plus a C in A2 maths.
Predicted:A*AA (Biology, Chemistry and Geography)

I've got all 5 of my offers back:
Strathclyde (BScBiochem with Pharmacology): Conditional BBB
Aberdeen (MSci Biochem with Ind. Exp.): Conditional ABB
Glasgow (Bsc Biochem with option to do Msci): Conditional ABB
Edinburgh (Bsc Biochem): Conditional AAA
St. Andrews: UNCONDITIONAL!

I don't know whether to go to St. Andrews or Glasgow though, I loved the Glasgow campus and the Glasgow course gives me the chance of a year abroad or a year in industry but St. Andrews has an amazing reputation.

Just wondering where you guys think I should go in terms of better job prospects/employability after I graduate?

Congratulations !! I really wanted Edinburgh but was rejected...
I would go there if I were you, They're really well ranked in the world rankings, after them there's St Andrew's!

Hi I currently am firming an offer for Biochemistry at the university of Nottingham and am on a gap year.

I need to get back into refreshing my knowledge before I go off again because I've gone a bit rusty.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good magazine/ journals or even text books for me to subscribe to or buy.

Any help appreciated

Hello,

Currently I've been rejected by both Edinburgh and St.Andrews. Nevertheless, I hold offers from Sheffield(4-year Masters) and York(Sandwich Year). Could you please advice me which uni is better and also what is more useful: Masters or Sandwich year? Also I'd like to acquire some knowledge of biochemistry in advance and thus I need a recommendation on textbooks. Thank you.

You might want to find out what core text books Nottingham suggests.

If you can't find anything, I'd recommend 'Biochemistry' by Voet and Voet (2011, 4th edition). It's a brilliant book that covers everything you could possibly want to know. That'll cost about £50.

Other than that, you might have heard of the journals 'Nature' or 'Science'. They've got websites with their latest publications. Everything new discovered in biochemistry will be published there.

You also can't go wrong watching some online lectures.

Masters are more useful than sandwich years imo cos you get the extra lab experience but at the same time end up with a more advanced degree.
