Ahh I did bit of Biomedical Sciences where a combined subjects of life sciences such as Biochemistry, Immunology, Physiology etc are involved. Its a interesting subject but if she into life sciences and lab-work 24/7 and into R&D then this is the ideal subject for her.

Its okay but continous reading into research for labwork are required like the night b4 lab day...First yr and second yr is easy-peasy while final yr is fukin harder lol

After degree, its shouldnt be that hard to get the job as long she gets the working experience in the labwork field. but its doesnt have to be in labwork she can get job in, she can do medical sales representative (abit like The Apprentice!!)

Hope dis helps!!

Its bull crap dont do it i have a degree in it jobs that you are likely to get are all rubbish with very little pay no matter what degree class you get

most people go into the following :


1. BMS (*working hospital in diff departments eg histology, micro, heam,)

2. Med Rep ( lot of money hard to get into if you a guy or dont know anyone in the industry )

3. Med School or Dental ( need a first plus good refrences and show to institutions that you are committed and must have loads of voluntary work experience )

4. Any othe job which accepts a life science degree although why should pick someone with a Biomedical degree ova some1 with the same degree class who has done business or something else is beyond me
