I'm a year 13 and I'm going to be studying Neuroscience at uni. I would definitely say that Biomedical science is the better choice in terms of finances, job prospects and job availability.

With a biomed degree you can go into a variety of fields such as medicine, research, academics, lab work e.t.c. However, biological sciences degrees usually limit you to research, academics or field work (usually). There is simply a higher demand and more job vacancies for individuals who specialise in biomedicine vs individuals who specialise in general biology.

DEFINITELY STUDY YOUR PASSION! Obviously, you have to think about career prospects and money but the most important thing is enjoying what you're studying and having a plan set out for the future.
