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

Can't make my mind up on what to do?

Hey guys! Had a quick question!

Basically, I'm stuck in confusion in which of the two courses to chose: Biochemistry, or Biomedical Science. I'm naturally good at Biology overall and love chemistry, but looked at the modules of both. They both are very appealing, and the strengths and weaknesses are equal.

One thing I feel I should mention is I wish to study a masters in either Cancer Biology, Oncology, and/or Cancer Drug Discovery. I was wondering, if I studied Biochemistry, would this affect me being able to study these?

Cheers anyways! Any help or advice is appreciated :smile:

Read about the modules the different courses have to offer. Write a list of pros and cons. Contact the biosciences department and ask.

Your interests will change as you go through uni. Look at course structures and see which one appeals to you more and gives you the option to explore your interests. You can do a specialist masters course after either undergrad course.
