Anything in science you might potentially want to major in?

If you have a keen interest/talent in one of the majors, defs go ahead and do it.
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

Thanks guys, after doing sum more research i found out that the two courses are in two different faculties, the single is in medicine and the double in science.
A different faculty wont affect my chances in entering the medical field will it?
Thanks

What faculty you come from has absolutely no bearing on whether you get into graduate medicine or not.  (Some people who have done arts have gotten into medicine and other things like this).

One thing to consider is though, your GPA, which is important for getting into graduate medicine.

Which degree do you think you will like better or do better in?

If you choose to major say in Physiology in the Biomedicine degree, what will you major in for your science degree?

Do you like/Are you good at the major you'll choose for your science degree?

You need to answer these things to yourself and consider your options.

I posted a thread about a single degree versus a double degree on this forum a few weeks ago.
General consensus is that the double degree is most times the better option since it allows you to experience more and also get another degree out of it.

Good luck.
