nudaveritas Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Chemistry is considered a life science, so yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypervalent_iodine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudaveritas Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes. Than I'd rather go for organic chemistry or genetics thanks for your reply ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Chemistry is considered a life science, so yes. Not universally (and not by me as it happens) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_sciences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississippichem Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not universally (and not by me as it happens) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_sciences 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 To be honest, neither do I, I was simply going off what I always see it banded under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
