Does anyone know if it is possible to combine a biochemistry degree with some computer science (even if it is not a joint degree)?


Hi, I am a Biochemistry applicant.
I'm afraid that there's not the possibility of doing that. As far as I know, the only joint courses available in Oxford are listed on their website. I have been looking through the Biochemistry page and I haven't see any signs of joint courses.

I see, thank you. Do you know if we can take any optional modules outside the biosciences department?

Do you mean modules of other undergraduate degrees? By the way, have you applied for Biochemistry?

Pretty sure you can't - one of the downsides of studying at Oxford, I'm afraid :sadnod:
Anyone get a material science email as a second choice degree to physics?

Yay another medicine applicant :biggrin:
Not very good at all, I'm finding it quite difficult to revise for it as I have no idea what to revise! How about you?
I'm hoping my GCSEs will be good enough!

Hey guys! I don't suppose there's any lovely staff/students about to offer some advice? :smile: Possibly @The_Lonely_Goatherd or @BrasenoseAdm ?

I am aware this is possibly specific to Hertford, but I received my request for written work today, and it asks that, '' Each piece of written work should be accompanied by a covering sheet, which can be downloaded here. Please supply your written work in digital format, by email, as one pdf document. Please do not submit multiple pdfs for each piece of work. ''

Does this mean it wants me to condense 2 top sheets and 2 articles of writing into ONE pdf file, altogether? As a single document? I want to be clear because I initially thought it was submitting 2 pdf topsheets and the 2 documents as word files, and this is seeming to not be the case although I'm not 100% sure how this is best laid out?

Sorry for the possibly stupid question! Advise is VERY appreciated :smile: x

It does sound like they want it all in the one PDF but I would double check with @BrasenoseAdm because in my day, it was all done via snail mail, so I am not 100% sure :shakecane:

I'd say they want a pdf which includes the top sheet and essay for EACH piece of written work you are submitting. So two pdfs in total.
Put in an open application, got allocated to Christ Church. Pretty scary :colondollar:

Seriously? That's weird, I always thought ChCh was way too oversubscribed! It's an amazing college, though :smile:
