Hi!
I am interested in doing the Bsc in applied chemistry after finishing my BTEC Extended Diploma in applied science next year.
i would like to know if with Bsc in applied chemistry, I could work in the Life Sciences Research field.
A reply would be appreciated

thanks !

Chemistry is considered a life science, so yes.

The simple answer is Yes. You would be well qualified for that.

Make sure to follow a few courses in biochemistry and biochemical process technology if you can. If not, I'm sure you'll pick it up soon enough. Equations might look slightly different, and molecules tend to be more complicated, but in the core, it is the same.

Yeah, sorry about the short post, I was packing up when I wrote it. Anyway, if you are interested in biologically applicable chemistry steer more towards organic chemistry and as Captain Panic suggested, pick up some biochem courses as well. I would also recommend doing medicinal chemistry courses as well as some cell biology and genetics.

Yes. Than I'd rather go for organic chemistry or genetics

thanks for your reply !

I don't really consider it a life science either. But then again, the stuff I do never has anything to do with living things.

You've come a long way. Remember back when we defined what a velocity meant? Now we are talking about an antisymmetric tensor of second rank in four dimensions.
