Which Univeristy Degree?

I've been thinking about what I want to do at university. I would like to do something scientific and have been thinking about Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Studies, Civil Engineering etc.

What sort of jobs can you get with each science subject and careerwise, what subject is the best?

Depends on your subjects. If you want to do Engineering or physical sciences then you need Maths and Physics. If you want to do chemistry or the biological sciences you need chemistry and maths, biology or physics at A level.

yeah its too hard to say, but if you want engineering (take Maths F.Maths and Physics) and "science" definitely take (Chemistry and Biology) the physics at UCL people said they cover F.Maths stuff like complex numbers etc which you may find a bit daunting at first as you probably never seen it before!.

You've got many options with those subjects from Physics/Astrophysics to Chemistry to all fields of Engineering.

Career wise i would say Engineering is the best (might be a bit biased) you can work in finance which is a very good career! or in science/engineering related fields.

I think it's so pointless doing an engineering degree/science degree only to go and work in finance like so many other people. Makes you wonder what the point in the degree is.

I would love to bounce on about the merits of Civil Engineering, but I would probably destroy TSR with my posting

I can't see anything wrong in that in the slightest. If that is the case, I feel studying economics then teaching children is pointless... each to his own :wink:
