my girlfriend is still stuck between these two courses.and she has a very limited tme to choose it cause her foundation is coming to an end.can u guys help me by giving me more facts bot these two subs and how 1 is better thn the other?

Which one is better depends on the applicant's interests?
Anyway, Biotechnology is more general compared to biomedical science since it is more or less associated with all the other bio courses... Unless your gf is interested in Biomedical sciences, it will be good to choose Biotechnology 1st and then decide later on what she wants and likes

erm..that is the prob.once u choose biotech,u cnt change it back to biomedic.and she likes bio.and both is bio related!what will be the scope of job like?what a biomedic grad and biotech grad would do?

If she loves bio so much - try becoming a biology teacher instead.
Ask to take Bachelors of Education in Science (Biology) from IPTAs offering this program.

She won't have to worry about job market later on, she will be employed by the government and have a stable occupation and income...
Besides... sooner or later she will get married... teaching offers a stable work hours...

thanks for ur time but that is not what i wna hear bro.doesn mean if she likes bio she shud bcome a teacher.and plus shes finishin her foundation in a couple of months time.he degree is in may.so i am just askin an opinion here to help her to have a wider view.

Type in proper intellegible English please. You are in Education Essentials forum after all.

If you want a wider view/options - you shouldn't limit her options to just these two bio-related programs (biotechnology and biomedical science), there are so many other bio-related programs available.

...and if you wondering weather I am qualified to give you advice on this... I am more than qualified to give you advice on Biomedical program...

I am Biomedical Degree Holder and have graduated years ago....

Have you asked her - what are her aims?

i am very sorry.forgive me.well,actually in my uni they offer only biotech,biomedic and microbiology.she is intrested in this researching about dna and stuff.did not really ask her.but basically these are her two options which she is stuck in between.so i will be more than glad if you can tell me the scope for this two field.then she might have a rough idea of what these two is about.from there,mayb she can decide.just trying to help her.i am sorry if i offended you in any way.

Very well...

She can start reading the following topic, if she has any specific question about biomedical science, she can post it there and we will answer:

how about biotech?and from your personal point of view,what would u suggest ?and why?

As I mentioned in the links given... Biotech and Biomed have different focus and different subjects...
Here are some examples of Biotech's branches:

- General Biotechnology
- Plant / agricultural Biotechnology (offered by Nottingham University Malaysia)
- Animal Biotechnology
- Medical Biotechnology

etc etc...

We biomedical students do not study what the biotech students study - for example, a friend of mine was studying Biotechnology in UMS sabah.

Among his subjects include "Fermentation Process" and "Enzyme Technology". We do not study those subjects but they don't study our subjects either such as Hematology and Medical Parasitology.

Even if we share a subject - for example - microbiology - the focus of that subject will be different. We will focus on disease-causing microbes and methods of isolating and identifying them, whereas biotechnology student may study broadly or focus on useful microbes (eg for bioprocessing, fermentation, etc)

We primarily deal with human health and health laboratory methods... Biotechnologist don't.



... I cant suggest between these two programs for your girlfriend - it is up to her to decide.

what made you choose biomedic dude?

I have my reasons~

mind to share?

- I like medical laboratory work and medical laboratory sciences - so much so - I have a mini 'lab' in my house for me to practice....

I have stated my other reasons before - you will have to find it in this forum~

lolz.i ws confused at 1st also.

bro..

if can.. ask her to go for biomedical electronics engineering..

ya.. its engineering.. but many gals like dis course..

prospect oso vv good..

but she hates physics bro..

biomed engineering gt prospects in msia?From what I heard,the prospects is still like biotech in Msia.However,the prospects for biomedic graduates are very good in Sigapore.

its about biomedical science bro.

bro..

dis course has v minimal amount of phys only..

mostly on bio knowledge..

can you explain more about this course?
