Hi everyone,
I am currently studying a foundation degree in applied and medical science, and after I complete it I was hoping to apply for the biomedical science degree with placement. For a while now I was set on going down the biomedical science route, but now I am unsure whether it would be a good choice or not. I think it’s because I have a lot of chemistry work in my current foundation degree and because I’m not great at it I feel like maybe this route is wrong for me, as I know that chemistry is also a big part of it. Either that or I’m slowly becoming uninterested. I usually like the biology side of things more too.
Now I have thought about different courses that I could apply for, and was thinking about psychology. I know I have been interested in it and how people behave etc... but never considered it until now. I enjoy learning about personality types too. The thing is I’m not sure I’d be great at being a counsellor etc.. as I have social anxiety, but maybe I could do a research career afterwards regarding mental health, as I’m better at English and have done a research module before in my double award A level health and social care, which I done well in and enjoyed.
So basically I’m unsure of what I should do after my current course... I almost feel like I don’t know what I am interested in anymore, but have ideas of different routes I’d like to take. I think it could be my depression/anxiety , or maybe I’m just at that age of uncertainty. Any advice about this/if psychology is a good choice would be helpful, thanks.
