Which degree is for me?
 

Hey there,
I am a senior in high school and am going off to university next year, so the time has come to choose my degree. Now I love both biology and chemistry, but I know that biochemistry is not the course for me, I want a more chemistry based degree that does interface with biological chemistry, So i have narrowed it down to two degrees, they are MChem in Medicinal Chemistry and a BSc in Biomolecular Science, the MChem is 5 years and the BSc is 4. Any comments would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Freedom :D

There are Chemical Biology programs as well. And you shouldn't knock Biochemistry before you even take a class, both degree progams you mentioned will involve a Biochemistry class at some point. The chemical biology program might be the only way to avoid biochemistry, but it would still help in your work.

I have a degree in Chemical Biology and I've taken both Chem Bio and Biochem classes. Chem Bio seems to be a little more chem/physics oriented as opposed to bio oriented, but I'm not sure.
