UCAS application

Can I apply to both Biomedical Science and Biology in my five UCAS choices? I don’t do A-level Chemistry, so my options are limited. My choices are: Warwick (Biomed), Durham (Biology), Queen Mary (Biomed), Bath (Biology), and Bristol (Biology).

If yes, how would I incorporate this into my personal statement? Ideally I’d prefer biomed as I don’t like learning about plant biology

Yes, you can apply to both.

For the personal statement, maybe focus on an interest which the degrees all have in common (e.g. is there something related to physiology or something like that that you’re interested in?).

My biology-related-degree knowledge is limited to biochemistry/cell biology (I completely avoided anything physiology related, and enjoyed the limited plants exposure (much better than A level), so I don’t know enough about any of the options you’re applying to (take what I’m saying with a pinch of salt), but I did apply to different degrees and found that a shared topic of interest worked well.
