Biochemistry, Biomedical and Biological Science Applicants 2016 Entry

Hello!
Hoping to apply to do biochem or biomedical but I'm not entirely sure what the main differences are?

Currently looking at universities like Bath, Exeter, Bristol, Oxford, Nottingham, York

hey applicants, I'll be going into my third year studying biological sciences at UEA if anyone has any questions about the course etc

Hi! I'm applying for biomedical sciences this year and just curious on what work experiences you did before applying for your course; if you have any useful tips to include in a personal statement; and do you think by sending in my UCAS application way earlier, say November ish of this year, would get me more offers than if I would've sent it around the deadline date in January 2016?
Thanks so much x.

I didn't have any experience I mainly just did things like being a biology workshop helper, anatomy and physiology extension classes, the biology olympiad and similar. currently though, I am on a lab internship for a period of 2 months. I would suggest extra reading about an area that interests you- if you need any advice for particular areas I can offer guidance

I sent my application off mid September so I can't really say- it took a month to hear back from universities then I got 4 offers in a week

oh wow that's amazing to get 4 offers in a week and by area do you mean like a specific area or topic in biology or anything science related?

Hey everyone!!

I've noticed that there isn't a thread for everyone in Year 12 or equivalent interested in studying biological sciences at university, so here it is!

Post what universities you are considering, what got you into biology, how your AS exams went, your GCSE grades, supercurricular stuff... whatever you want haha

It'll be great to hear from some like-minded people!

Shall I study biomed at a low ranked uni (anglia ruskin) or something similar at a mid tabled uni( keele)?
Reason being - keele is full for biomed and I really want to go on to study dentistry after my first degree. Also what similar degrees are there for biomed and that I would be acceptable for graduate entry dentistry?

Any degree can lead you to study dentistry afterwards, however, science subjects give you a much better chance of getting in. I would say biomed is a good subject but biochem, pharmacy, or another similar subject would be equally as good.

You'll need some work experience whilst doing the degree though, or you will have a very small chance of being accepted.

Thank for the response.
Im interested in human biology after looking at the modules it covers. So im most likely going to be applying for that at keele university. Then hopefully applying for dentistry after, with some work experience at a dental surgery completed 😊

I'm applying for Biomed this year!

I'm considering Oxford (hopeless at best ), Sheffield, Exeter, Edinburgh, Durham, and York. I really need to cut it down to 5.

My AS exams went okay... biology was great, chemistry was difficult, maths was fine, history was crazy, critical thinking was bad, and creative writing was okay.

My GCSE results were 10 A*s and 3 As.

I've done work experience in a hospital and watching crown court proceedings, both were really interesting and fun! I'm struggling on the extra reading though!
