Biological/Life Sciences are degrees based on Chemistry and Biology.
As long as you choose these two subjects at advanced level, a huge
range of degrees will be open to you. These include degrees leading to
a definite career path (for example, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science,
Pharmacy, Dietetics) and degrees based on research (for example,
Biochemistry, Biomedical Materials Science, Pharmacology).
Physical Sciences involve the practical application of Mathematics and
Physics. As long as you take these two subjects at advanced level a huge
range of degrees will be open to you, such as: Engineering (mechanical,
electronic/electrical and civil), Physics and Materials Science.
If you are a very talented scientist/mathematician, it is important that out
of the four available sciences – Biology, Chemistry, Maths (which includes
both Mathematics and Further Mathematics) and Physics – you should
choose three. If you know you are inclined towards the Life Sciences then
you should choose Chemistry and Biology. If you know you are on the
Engineering side you should choose Mathematics (and possibly Further
Mathematics) and Physics.
