Need opinions for first preference!
« on: August 17, 2010, 05:03:06 pm »

I'm going 360 deciding which of the following 4 courses to put down as my first preference, im pretty sure i'll get into my top... so i wanna make sure its what i wanna do for the next ~5 years.

BBiomedSc/Eng vs. BSci/Eng vs. BPharmSc/Eng vs Eng (all @ monash of course, specialisation: most likely chem eng)

If you're reading this and are doing one of the following degrees, give me your opinion :)

Biomed is only there purely for interest, as the chances of getting into post grad medicine is very slim (GPA won't be spectacular cos of the engineering component). PharmSc has 1st and 3rd year @ parkville campus so distance may be an issue. Sci/Eng for the broadness (probs maths, chem, or astrophysics majors), and single degree Eng for the short course length (4 years)

No. I'd say do BEng/LLB :P

Seriously though, I can't give you advice on something as important as this, just think it through. Personally, though, I'd go with Eng/Sci, simply because I have no intention of completing, or interest in, biomed or pharmacy...

I'd say BBiomed as it's broader than PharmSci.

Umm wouldn't it be possibly to do a lot of the biomed subjects in the science degree? Or at least equivalent subjects?
To me I think it would be better to do sci/eng before properly considering biomed. In which case you should be able to transfer into that degree using your science subjects as credit

If i was to do sci/eng, i'd major maths/chemistry, possibly astrophysics... thus ruling out any space to shove in biomed subjects i think? well that's what most if not all of the representatives said at open days

LLB = Bachelor of Laws

re: Biomed - short answer is no, you can't - although there are a lot of equivalent subjects, you can't do BMS units with a Bachelor of Science.
