Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Choosing a degree (vetmed vs. biology)

Hi everybody !
I'm applying to uni (entry 2016) in the UK, and I'm an EU student. The problem is I don't know how to choose between studying veterinary medicine and biological sciences. I have work experience in both fields.
I think I might want to work in research afterwards. Would it be useless to have a veterinary degree to do so ?
Also, I really would like to travel as a grown-up, which degree led be the most suitable to do so ?

Thank you !!
Hope someone can help...

Anyone ?

If you want to go into research biological science would be better suited for preparing you for this.
Vet med is designed to prepare vet students for actual practice as a vet and so is a very different degree with a clinical rather than a lab emphasis and a lot of time spent in vet clinic placements.
Combined with how ridiculously competitive vet med is (only 8 vet schools in the UK, sometimes 20:1 applications to places), and that the course is longer (5 years vs 3), I would say if you don't actually want to be a vet then it would be a bit pointless to do it.
