Microbiology vs pharmacy/pharmacology

Hello, I am very unsure on what course I'd like to do at uni and am currently stuck between these options.
I am also just generally unsure on career options relating to these subjects and any insight would be appreciated.
I've got microbiology work experience sorted and am having trouble organising work experience for pharmacy which is annoying as that would help with my decision so if anyone knows somewhere in Suffolk where I can get pharmacy work experience that would be great
Any advice, guidance and insight from anyone doing these courses would be really appreciated

Maybe try some virtual work experience or subject spotlights on Springpod or unifrog.
You could also watch some documentaries and read around each subject.
Also make sure youve looked at the modules for degrees of interest so you know exactly what you’d be studying

Good idea, I'll do that :smile:

Hi @M3g4n,

I am a current 2nd year studying Bsc diagnostic radiography so I do not know a lot about your field but if you click the link here and take a look at the subjects listed that are similar to pharmacy, if you scroll down to the bottom of each course, you will find a list of lecturers with their emails, and perhaps they can give you guidance or expertise on pharmacy work experience you can find in Suffolk. https://www.uos.ac.uk/study/search-for-a-course?keywords=&courseType=undergraduate&courseLocation=&courseSubjects=&courseStudyMode=
