Uni Application help!!!

I'm applying for Biological and Medicinal Chemistry at York but I can't decide between the normal four year masters (a year in York), a year abroad or a year in Industry.

Does applying for a year abroad or industry make it harder to get in/ are the courses more competitive? Should I just go for the year in York and am I able to change it if I get there? I'm also having trouble choosing between the different options for Bath too!

Any advice would be great
Thanks :smile:

Not really. Its most likely that everyone is treated as one cohort for admissions purposes. Often their is flexibility in year abroad/masters/placement etc. once you arrive anyway.

I mean you should check with the uni before applying but id imagine so, this is the case at most unis.

If everyone has an identical year 1 then for admissions purposes they normally consider you as 1 cohort.
