Is Advanced Biology suitable as preparation for postgraduate medicine?
Yes, very suitable. The only specific science topics required for GAMSAT (the exam you take after completing a Bachelor’s degree, when seeking admission to graduate medicine) are at the level of first-year science, so these are certainly covered. Beyond this, the graduate medicine admission process places high value on general reasoning ability, literacy and clarity of expression. These skills are cultivated in Advanced Biology. Meanwhile Advanced Biology gives you time to make up your mind whether you seriously want to enter medicine or not. As you learn more during your degree, you might discover some other career that you would prefer, or it might confirm your wish to enter medicine.
