What can I do with a 3rd in Biomedical Sciences degree?

Question

I f****d up.

What are my options.

Answer 1

You've still got a degree though. Some pharmaceutical firms will ask for a 2.1 or above, but a lot of university or NHS research departments only ask for a first degree.

Depends on what you want to do. Working as a research assistant in a university would be possible (for research assistants in our dept, we typically only ask for a first degree, and dont specify what type of degree).

Working as a biomedical scientist / MLSO (I presume) would still be possible.

Then there's project management work as well.

A 3rd isnt as bad as all that.

Answer 2

Could you resit? Universities will usually let you do more study so long as you give them more money.

Or do a completely new degree?

Don't reduce yourself to a few numbers on a piece of paper from one moment in your life.
