Do I want to study Medicine any more?

Honestly, I think you would be mad to apply for medicine in this country given what is currently going on.

Who says that the OP has to stay in the UK?

1) Apply to UK medicine school for the (relatively) cheap school fees
2) Move to America
3) ???
4) Profit.

I'm in the same position. I really want to go into medicine but I love politics as well, so i'm hoping I can still stay involved even when i go off to med school. Also its good to have a real job before going into politics; you don't want to be one of those pesky career politicians lol

So did you decide to go into medicine because of the job prospects and then politics could be a fall back? Or did you think about going down the politics route entirely?

No not at all, i've always wanted to go into medicine and still do; and certainly not because of job prospects - 5 years at uni to be on £22,000 a year isn't fantastic. Politics is more of a hobby for me and whilst long into the future I may consider standing, I want to have many years of real world experience; so I may go into it when I retire or something, who knows lol

Yep, it's as simple as that.

Could you come up with some solutions to achieve world peace whilst you're at it please?

Move to America where you have to do a bachelors degree beforehand, then spend 4 ish years in medical school, all with insane fees ($50,000 or more plus living expenses). Then you go through a 3-7 year residency, and on top of that you need to take exams to become board certified, then you have a fellowship before becoming an attending/consultant. All while paying off at least $200,000 for 8 years of student loans and apparently not many universities fund international students enough for that. US systems long, slightly easier here apart from our failing NHS.

Since I have been young, I have always been adamant that I will pursue a career in the sciences. In recent years I have wanted to pursue medicine as I think that environment would be a constant learning environment whilst helping contribute to my community (or others if I eventually move abroad). However, I seem to be stuck at a dead end with how I feel about pursuing this.
I have always been passionate about politics and from a recent meetup with students at Oxford University I thought that it could be possible for me to do a PPE degree, or another degree that is quite humanities based, which is a completely different route to what I have been studying for. Yet, I still have a strong passion for the sciences and love the subjects I'm studying at college (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics). So I am completely stuck as to what I'm supposed to do. Since I will have to start the UCAS process in a couple of months it is starting to worry me because of the varied deadlines depending on what degree I opt to study for.
If anyone is/has been in the same situation as me please help! Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance.
