Biomed vs Science Majors

[HighLatency]

I have a few questions which have been on my mind and my extensive searching through the interwebz have been fruitless:
1. Which majors in Biomedicine are exclusive to the course and cannot be done in a Science degree? (I assume there are some otherwise Biomed. seems redundant).
2. Are majors that are present in both Science and Biomedicine the same thing? (e.g. structure, content, class? etc).
3. Better to study genetics in Biomed or Science? .
4. Can I do a double major in either degree?

1) Only Defence and Disease. I don't see why not having exclusive majors makes the entire course redundant? You do realise your major is only 4 subjects out of the entire 24 you complete in your degree.
2) Yes, as far as I'm aware science and biomed mix in the major.
3) A genetics major will be the same in biomed and science.
4) No, you can do the subjects from both in some cases, but you only get one major documented as completed.

Just FYI, majors are only relevant in your final year because that's when you actually finally do one. Biomed is unique not in its offering of majors, but in its core subjects which cannot be done by anyone outside the course - this has it's advantages and disadvantages. For one, it means you're more likely to gain really close friends as you'll be with them a lot. However, it makes it harder because biomed core subjects are notorious for being extremely fast paced.. Although a lot of the content we cover is the same or very similar to science, we normally do it at a much faster rate.

As an aside, it's actually reasonably straightforward to effectively do the Defence and Disease major in a science degree, it's just that you'll only be recognised as doing either a major in Pathology or in Microbiology, Infection & Immunology.
