Choices I have after my Bsc in Biomedical Science.

Good day everyone,
I want to make up my mind on what to do.
I would like get a Master’s degree in either Forensic Science or Bioinformatics.
I want to ask which one is more feasible?

Feasible in what sense?
If you're asking which of the 2 subjects you're eligible to do a master's in, you're eligible for both. See the following as examples:
https://courses.uwe.ac.uk/F41G12/forensic-science#entry
https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/masters/courses/list/08854/msc-bioinformatics-and-systems-biology/entry-requirements/#course-profile
https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/taught/med/bioinformatics.aspx#EntryRequirementsTab

If you're asking which of the 2 professions is more likely you would get employment in, then I would say you have a higher chance with bioinformatics. However, it's worth noting that you don't need further degrees to get into either fields. See:

If you intend to pick a master's for forensic science though, I would make sure it's accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences to give you the best chance of entering the field.
