Deciding career

Hi, I've applied uni to study radiography but all of the uni i applied rejected me but one of them offered me biomedical science which I never thought of study. I don't wanna to spend whole year without anything waiting to apply for the upcoming year and literally don't know what to decide. Any help please

Well, how big is one year in your life? I'm not saying if you study biomedical science it will be what you do for the rest of your life, but there is a large chance it will be. Taking something that you aren't sure if you like or not, that you will possibly be stuck with for the rest of your career is worth spending another year to try again.
This isn't to say you wouldn't enjoy biomedical science, just it is not similar to radiography in almost any way, so you might now enjoy it at all.
Good luck!

Do you know why you have been rejected for DR? Is it because of grades, lack of work experience or interview performance? If you still want to do it, have you checked to see if any other unis are still open to applications so that you can apply through UCAS Extra? A gap year isn't a wasted year if you use it to strengthen your application so that you have a much better chance next time. You could spend it gaining relevant work experience (and earning money to help you through uni).

Unis that offer alternative courses are just trying to fill spaces on less popular courses. Don't take it unless it is something you really want to do. The following website is a good place to start for career options:
