Reasons you SHOULD study biomedical science at university

When I applied to university, I really didn't know if biomedical science was THE thing I wanted to pursue, and that's because all I knew about the subject was purely based on what I read from the university course website. After 4 years of studying, I wanted to share some of the reasons why I think you should study biomedical science (or not lmao, this video was purely made to shed a little light on what this degree actually entails).

In this video, I talk about what biomedical science is, how it's different from medicine, the super interesting topics you will learn about, practical and transferable skills you will develop and finally, potential career options (that do not just include research).

About me:
Hello!! My name's Vy and I make vlogs and chit chat videos about pursuing an education / career in biomedical research.

I'm currently working as a research assistant in Cambridge and studied biomedical science for my undergrad and postgrad in the UK.

This channel is also a place for me to document the little joys in my every day life, travel adventures and all in all, just memories I'd want to look back on.
