Why I Want To Pursue A Biomedical Degree

Having a Father working as a Chemist since a young age, science has always played a key influence in my upbringing at home, as well as at school. However I have only found in recent years how interesting and exciting this can be, and so sparking my interest in Biomedical sciences began at GCSE level, where the level of detail, precision and anatomy of the human body captured my attention greatly, I knew from here I wanted a career in such an exciting and developing field. I chose to follow my passion and continued to study biology and chemistry at AS level. I found these very interesting and enjoyed learning, especially human biology and genetics related topics. What appeals to me particularly about biomedicine as opposed to other biological science courses, is the larger, more fulfilling and exciting lab work present. I have great experience working safely and considerately in lab’s, both in biological settings and also very many experiences of handling
It has taught me many useful skills such as analytical skills, but has also prepared me with a sound knowledge foundation ready to study my Biomedical Degree. I also study Graphic Design, allowing me to develop my creativity and to apply it to other areas, for example to solve problems from a different perspective and be more creative in my thinking. Within Graphics we also do a lot of essay writing and analysing, relevant to my scientific background. My ability to write in depth and confidently about things I have discovered stems from here. My studies in A-level Business Studies have helped me to further develop my essay writing skills, and also improved my calculations – building upon the calculations and problem solving skills I developed whilst studying AS-level Chemistry. I feel as though my subject choices are broad and varied, yet have prepared me well with the knowledge and skills needed for further scientific
