Chat which course is better (or if you know another one not here, please share) ~ I'm aiming for post grad med
My top 2:
1. UNSW: Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Medicine / Master of Pharmacy
2. USYD: B/Psych Honours

Then the rest in no order:
UNSW B/Psych Honours
USYD B/Psych
UNSW B/Psyc science
USYD Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science)
Maq Law + Med sci

btw I don't wanna do something risky like med sci alone or b/science since it has limited career prospects. Also I got a 90+ atar and my selection rank is like 98 or 99 so im open to anything.
ps. I do enjoy psych and english (and science)

firstly congrats on the atar 😸

which of the 2 are you more interested in?
also consider the amount of time you'll be spending in uni, and if that's important to you

I've heard it takes a while to become a clinical psychologist and that the master's program is very competitive to get into at USYD. but if psych is your thing then im sure you'd get the marks needed for master's, if not at usyd then another uni, which btw isn't worth thinking about just yet anyway. but still a consideration

pharmacy is also a stable career path, the master's comes with the bachelor's which seems cool like you wouldn't need to apply for master's separately later on I think. and again is this a path you're more interested in? it's a lot of biochem

there's a much stronger writing/english/critical thinking component in psych. my psych friends always seem to be writing essays or reading papers

maybe just look up career prospects and job market for both, look up the handbooks for both degrees to see what the units and content will be like, you might get your answer that way
