Medicine to Biomed

Can you change from medicine to biomed? I realised that I only wanted to do medicine because of my parents. So instead of doing another degree and starting from scratch, I could change to biomed. Is that possible?

Are you already studying medicine? More details would be helpful.

I'm in my second year of Med.

I would talk to your tutor or supervisor. In general terms it should be possible (particularly as the academic year has only just started) but the sooner you talk to them the sooner they can advise you on the specifics and get the admin started.

As ecolier says you must be sure this is the right decision as medical schools generally don't accept former medical students.

Dw I know it's not for me, I'm glad I won't be able to change back. My parents won't have any power then.

Are you doing this to spite your parents? Your tone seems to suggest that - apologies if I’m wrong. Why don’t you just talk to your parents and explain? I’m sure they will understand once they realise you are not happy. And think carefully before you change - do it for the right reasons.

You don't think I've tried? I wouldn't be doing this unless I had no option.
