hanz Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well hello everyone, as you see the topic explains itself. I really want to get into Engineering, in BioMed. and i really REALLY hate something called physics ! i am in IB1 taking Chemistry HL and Biology HL . and i dropped physics BECAUSE I HATE IT ! but i am really interested into getting into BioMedical Engineering, but i hate physics, do u have to be good in it or even like it so u can do good or even get into BioMedical Engineering ?

Mahdi7 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Unfortunatly, the Engineering of any sort requires Physics! Just try and like it:P Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Getting into ANY engineering program requires physics. You should be taking physics HL. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahuta ♥ Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think it depends on the university. Like for medecine, some univerities require chemistry and physics and not bio, while otehrs require chemistry and biology with no physics.

[img]http://static.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/lolwut.gif[/img] Can you give an example of such a university? It sounds interesting and I've never heard about it before. OP - since it's biomed eng, specifically, and it encompasses all 3 sciences, unis might prioritize difference subject courses differently. So do your research and tell us what you find.

LinuxBeta Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yep, as far as I know all engineering degrees require physics. Try biomed science if you don't like physics, or biochem...or something. The thing is that in most engineering degrees, even if you get accepted with no physics, they'll probably require you to take physics, which puts you at a big disadvantage as far as your GPA is concerned.

And yeah, it is odd, but perhaps because they will be teaching biology stuff in the foundation year anyways? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 They prefer Physics to Biology in Finland too. You have to do lots of calculations (ie. physics) in the entrance exam. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
