Biomedical science or biochemistry

Hi!!
I just wanted advice on which degree I should focus on during clearing I have some question:

Is biochemistry harder than biomedical?

Is an undergraduate in biochemistry very employable or will I have to do a masters as well?

Overall which degree is more worth it?

You need to work out which of these subjects actually interests you more - and you are the only person who can do this.

Go through some Unis websites and look at the overall course descriptions, and the individual units that make up those degrees. What appeals to you, what will you actually enjoy studying? Just be aware that if all you are focussing on is 'easier' then you might need to look at apprenticeships instead as the whole point of Uni is that is isnt easy and involves effort to meet the intellectual challenge. All Stem graduates are employable - but ultimately graduate job chances depend on your ability and career-building determination, not just the subject on your degree certificate.
