| Re: University Degree
It's probably too soon for you to home in on a particular profession: there may be no openings and you may change your mind. So go for a broad biology or ecology degree - the ecology one may tend to be a bit more practically based but you should get the broad knowledge from either.
Save the specialisation (to botany, &c) until you do your MSc.
From what people say who have qualified at them, I gather that Bristol and Sheffield are the best universities outside of the two "big" ones (Cambridge and Imperial) and quite nice places to live. If you really want to stay fairly close to home then Newcastle is very good, especially if you're into invertebrates. |
