Default 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.

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.
