My degree is in Genetics. We did a common first year covering a range of Biology subjects (things like Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Botany, Physiology etc) then after the first year you could specialise a bit more so people's degrees tended to be called things like Microbiology, Zoology etc but you could include other modules outside of your specialty, so my degree was mostly Genetics and Microbiology modules with a little Neurobiology and Endocrinology thrown in for fun!

I work for the NHS as a scientist. I have mostly worked on the genetics of bacteria and viruses through my career, though I did a little human genetics research when I worked at Great Ormond Street years ago. Nowadays I mostly work on HIV and Hepatitis B and C viruses, but some other viruses too from time to time.

That sounds good. I've seen that you can do a degree now in health sciences to become an nhs scientist which I've been looking into. Just so confused what to do with myself lol :/ xx

I'm tempted to apply for a biology degree, I already have a degree in nursing, but I am swayed by the idea of teaching and I love science, biology I ip find easier, I have a levels in all the sciences and psychology, but I can't remember a thing, so that scares me, I don't want to not be able to cope lol.
