What uni choices and degree choice do i pick Biochemistry

As youre unsure on quite a range of factors it’ll be advantageous to apply to a range of options.
If i was you id apply for UCL just so id have a good local option in case thats what i wanted to firm or have as an insurance closer to results day. It’s also very variable whether there will be any clearing places at reputable London unis so applying is a smart move 🙂
A placement is great to get industry experience but you need to look at what the uni offers funding wise or how much it’ll cost you to do a placement during your degree and what support they’ll provide with getting the placement and during the placement year cos this varies a lot and can make a big difference to your decision!
MSci is better to apply for than BSc as you can more easily switch to BSc from MSci than the other way around from the position of student finance. This is especially important if youre set on doing a masters after your bachelors because an integrated masters is much better funded on student finance than a bachelors and then a separate masters.

Ok great advice, thanks. So you would apply for an MSci on UCL, and then would you recommend my second option goes to leeds or york? Also where would be a good place to research funding and support for placements as the websites seem quite scarce in terms of these two details. Thanks

I dont know much about biochem at either but both are great choices for biosciences, maybe look at their industry links if you haven’t already and also how the placement is funded. My apologies i have quite limited knowledge of the specifics of each program

I have heard London unis can be quite tough as if you don't have a lot of money you won't be going out loads whereas in cheaper places and campus unis, your friends are having a blast and you wish you were there. Not sure how correct this is - I would be keen to hear about student experience in London versus a campus uni
