But what careers would u be able to go into without further study

But what careers would u be able to go into without further study

senior research roles in industry, postdoctoral roles at universities.

Many senior roles require further study

Well, there would probably be limited options available. You could go straight into writing, or you can go into the civil service or the NHS (they have varied jobs available not just ones that will be closely linked with science).

Your options will be more open with a career relating to science, Exeter says:
Postgraduate study, either at a university or with the NHS
Employment in knowledge industries, such as pharmaceuticals or medical technology. Roles might include research and development, clinical trials, or sales and marketing
Training and employment to become a Scientific Officer in the Civil Service
NHS management
Postgraduate training for the NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP)
Graduate entry to professional degrees such as radiotherapy
Graduate entry to medicine*, dentistry or other accredited healthcare programmes

Now these are a lot to do with further study but there are quite a few jobs in the pharmaceutical/medical technology industries that could lead you to focus more on management and less on research.

Hmmm okay thanks!
.I wished the degree could lead to become a physiologist or something related to finding cures....

That's what it's all about really! I believe further study is required though, how are you supposed to learn it all in only 3 years? You can specialise after the degree and make a much more informed choice on the area from what you've learnt.

Well I contacted the imbs and they said biomedical scientist can't specalise in physiology. .

I'll research later. What's your career plan?

the research does go towards finding cures- but it is research done by those with a lot higher positions. normally university based research focuses in on one very small very specific area

I actually did better than I expected, especially in chemistry! I got 3As in the subjects I want to do to A2 (Chemistry, biology, and maths), 2Bs, and a C.

I'm pretty worried about the BMAT though, physics is totally a killer for me, and a lot of the GCSE level stuff for bio and chem is totally foreign to me now!

Damn you got this 😘 I'm so scared for the BMAT, I only just scraped an A in GCSE maths so I need to work on that!!! I feel very scared for it 😩

is BMAT needed for biomedical science?

Any tips for writing a personal statement for biomed science, I'm talking about unpredictability of disease and ebola cause went to a lecture on it, am i on the right track? xx

Are you only applying for biomed?

Lucky you starting your personal statement quick! I want to start mine too but im still confused with what course to choose

Is it possible to apply for two similar course with one personal statement? I want apply for biomedical sciences at 4 unis and biological sciences at 1 another - is this possible?

It's very possible, you'd have to be prepared to accept that the 5th (biological sciences) application would be less likely to do well. Of course, the personal statement should reflect you as a student so if you come across as passionate/interested then nothing should stop you except entry requirements!
