Best unis for biomedical engineering or business management/marketing
Hi, I am currently in year 12 studying a level maths, biology, chemistry, business studies and welsh bacc as we were forced to do it. I have 2 interests in mind when it comes to thinking about degree choices
My first one is Biomedical engineering- as I have taken biology, chemistry and maths and I have a big passion for engineering, STEM and medicine all combined together would be this degree and im pretty good in science too, not good at maths yet but its just the start.
My second one is Business management/marketing- as I have taken maths and business and I like the business industry and I have a big interest in business and I'm doing really well at it and also the career options are flexible with this degree too.
and if I was to have one more it would be biomedical/biochemistry science
Which universities are top/ are good for these 2/3 degrees? Also, im stuck on how these 2/3 degrees are valued in different career choices like globally or nationwide? because I'm not sure of a career yet but these are my interests and I would like to work in different countries too but im not sure what career choices are there for these 2/3 degrees.

Instead of looking at specific unis atm i would suggest that you explore all these areas more. Watch some documentaries, do some online courses, read articles or books, go to talks or tune into virtual ones, listen to podcasts etc. The reason i say this is because the best way to pick your uni course is by looking at the modules offered and seeing if they meet your interests and skills, you wont know that until you know more about what those are 🙂

Here are some rankings of best unis for bio med:
Business management:
Business Marketing:
These are all popular and dependable sites in my opinion so it's good to use for a rankings comparison. However rankings aren't always what's best for you, visiting universities in person is the most important thing as it allows you to talk to lecturers and current students and see how they like it. Also, you can see if you actually like the location it's in as you will be spending at least 3 years there.
Hope this helps,

Hi there,
It’s great that you already have a strong sense of your interests. Biomedical engineering, business management/marketing, and biomedical/biochemistry sciences all open up very different pathways, so it’s completely normal to feel unsure at this stage.
A helpful next step is to explore the specific course content. Even degrees with the same title can offer very different modules depending on the university, so it’s worth checking that the topics taught across the degree match what you enjoy most.
I’d also really recommend attending open days and subject taster sessions. These give you the chance to meet academics, ask questions, and get a feel for the campus environment. It’s important to see where you can genuinely picture yourself studying for the next few years. Alongside this, most universities now have on-demand platforms where you can watch introductory videos and course overviews, which can be useful before visiting in person.
To explore your interests further, you might also want to try some free online courses/MOOCs:
These tools can help you compare areas like biomedical engineering vs. business and understand what best suits your strengths and long-term goals.
Hope this helps, and best of luck with your decision-making!
