I need your opinions on medical science

Hey, does medical science (undergrad) offer me a post grad radiography degree because I don’t wanna waste 9k. I want to be a radiographer but my firm uni gave me another course as it is quite competitive?

Why have you firmed if you're unsure about the course? Did you get any offers from other unis for radiography?

Then do Radiography.
Take a gap year, get a relevant job and reapply next year.

If you want to work as a radiographer you need to do an appropriately accredited and approved course in radiography. You can't just do any random bioscience degree and expect that to qualify you to work in a specific allied health professional (AHP) field - that's not how it works.

Alright, is it still possible to apply for clearing from the exact university?

If a university didnt see it fit to make you an offer for the original application they arent likely to in clearing. Try elsewhere or take a gap year and reapply.

As above if you were already rejected then it's unlikely, although if the course is available in clearing there's no harm in calling up on results day to see.
