Any advice for university major?

A level subjects are maths, physics, biology and economics, the school advised to choose engineering. Is biomedical engineering a good choice? She is open to majors does not want to study physics. Thank you!

I think it would be important for her to try and figure out what she is interested in. Biomed engineering is a good course but she should probably read about the course and find out what it's about to decide if it's something she would like.

Thanks.She is not typically interested in or disliking any major. Hard to choose a major

Hi!

Biomedical engineering would be a good choice! Or having a look at other engineering courses/STEM if she is interested in engineering. As well as this having a look at other courses which include the subjects she has chosen and reading about them to see if she would enjoy them! I currently study Mechanical Engineering and studied maths, physics, and biology so that could be a course to look into as well!

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Thats understandable, but probably also due to lack of exposure to different courses. Have her try and attend public lectures on different subjects, or read books and articles about different things and see what she's interested in.

If there are really no interests in university courses in particular, perhaps look at the next step. What kind of job would she like to see herself in? Maybe if there are a few things in mind she can pick a course that would adequately prepare her for those jobs.

Otherwise, look at job prospects and employability from different courses. Try to pick one that will keep as many options open as possible so that she has time to figure out what job she wants.

Thanks. We tried. She seems to be at the stage of exploring subjects instead of having a vague plan for the future. Engineering could be a choice.

Hello,

Biomedical engineering is indeed a strong choice if you’re interested in combining your knowledge of biology and mathematics. This field focuses on developing technologies and solutions for healthcare, which could be a great fit if you have a passion for improving medical devices and patient care. Since you’re not interested in continuing with physics, biomedical engineering allows you to apply your skills in maths and biology without requiring advanced physics.

Additionally, you might consider other engineering disciplines such as:

•

Industrial Engineering: Focuses on optimizing complex processes and systems, often involving economics and management principles.

•

Biochemical Engineering: Combines biology and chemistry, which might align with your interests in biology and provide a more chemical-focused approach.

•

Environmental Engineering: Applies engineering principles to improve environmental quality, which can be a great fit if you're interested in sustainability and environmental issues.

Each of these fields has different specializations and career paths, so it’s a good idea to explore them further to find which aligns best with your interests and career goals.

There are many different kinds of engineering, mechanical, electrical, biomed, design, civil. So many different kinds. Go to open days and find out what the differences are or tell her to read about the different courses on uni websites to see if any sound more fun to her.
