Hey Guys;
So, title says it all pretty much. Ask me anything you want about the course and I will be happy to answer (assuming I know the answer). =P
A few things about me you may or may not want to know (just incase);
Spoiler:Show
I moved around 100 miles (taking the shortest route by car = 95 miles) away from home to my current uni
I want to be a teacher after I have finished my Biomedical Science degree
I'm gay
I done A level Bio, Chem and Maths at A level
Why did I choose Biomedical Science? - I chose it because it's a very well respected course and it interested me a lot. I am also able to integrate it with Biochemistry and become a Biology and Chemistry teacher once I finish my PGCE.
What I am currently doing to improve my portfolio to become a teacher:
I am currently volunteering in something which involves going in and teaching kids in schools about the environment, I am going to do a First Aid course on the 28th November, once I a better (feel like crap right now...) I am doing to apply to a school and be a TA once a week voluntarily and I have done volunteer TA work for 2 years while I was at sixth form.

In terms of what's best for a Teacher, I would say if you want to teach Biology AND Chemistry, then Biochemistry might be your better option. However, Biomedical Science offers a larger variety of topics and this is why I chose it because I was far more interested in Biomedicine than Biochemistry due to the prognosis, diagnosis, symptoms, human anatomy and genetics modules plus the pharmacy and chemistry routes (the optional modules I chose this year were Drugs and Disease and Medicinal Chemistry).
Link to my uni course:

So, while I do want to teach both Bio and Chem, I think my optional module choices will allow me the option to do so because I plan on splitting my degree as evenly between Bio and Chem as I can.Last edited by Scienceisgood; 07-11-2015 at 08:44. -

What years would you like to teach? Why do you want to teach? What are your favourite areas of biomed? What uni are you at?

Hey, I'm a second year biology student wanting to become a teacher so not far offWhat years would you like to teach? Why do you want to teach? What are your favourite areas of biomed? What uni are you at?
Why do I want to be a teacher?
Ever since Sixth Form, I found enjoyment in teaching others things if they don't understand something about a subject and I think, if I can get a job as something I love doing, why not do it and get paid at the same time?
Favourite areas?
Last year in Anatomy and Physiology, we had a human anatomy practical where people who willingly donated their bodies to science educational purposes were bought in (in pieces, i.e. groin, hip, upper leg etc...), I know this sounds grim but I did enjoy learning about the anatomy of the human body through this method.
I also enjoyed the Pathophysiology of Disease module which was basically A LOT of diagnosis (similar to this year's module "Studies in the Biology of Disease"). So we learned how to diagnose liver disease, renal disease, UTIs etc...
So, I enjoy the course completely overall except one aspect, Microbiology, I find it REALLY boring...
I am at UWE. =)Last edited by Scienceisgood; 07-11-2015 at 08:56.
