What Msc can I do with a Biomedical Science Bsc

I am currently taking a gap year, and applying for a Masters in Sep 2024 as I have missed the last date to apply for dentistry. Which masters would you consider taking that may benefit my application for graduate entry dental school?

If you want to get into dentistry, applying for a master's in any other subject would be pointless unless you're the type who wants to study for the sake of studying or becoming knowledgeable whilst racking up a lot of expenses.

You want the graduate entry into dentistry if not an undergrad in dentistry (ideal).

To answer your question though, you would be eligible for a master's in most life science subjects e.g. physiotherapy, sports science, biochemistry, biomed, ecology, environmental science, etc.

You are also able to apply for degrees that accept an undergrad in any subject so long you have a high enough grade:

•

Computer science (some degrees)

•

Anything in business (except for finance) e.g. marketing, accounting. You cannot do a business management degree if you have done it at undergrad

•

Anthropology

•

Nursing

•

Some criminology degrees

•

Nonquantiative economics degrees

•

Some film degrees

•

Hospitality

•

Some media degrees

•

Some journalism degrees

•

Education

•

Linguistics

•

Social work

•

Some politics degrees

•

Some agriculture degrees

•

Some fine art degrees

As stated above, none of the above would help you in dentistry. Only an appropriate degree in dentistry would help you get into dentistry. Every other subject and degree is not going to help at all.

I have a mate who is in a similar position as me where they want to go into dental school however they've got a drink driving offence and feel like this may affect their application for dental school. Is it worth it for them to do a masters while they still have a criminal record or is it best for them to wait it out until this offence is off their record? Many thanks
