BSc Biomedicine is not available in my country so I can't take it. My parents won't allow me to study outside the country until I'm done with my pre-medical course. They'll be allowing me to study Medicine abroad after that.
Anyway, which one would be better? I like BSc Biology and it's available in the university I want to go to; however, a lot of people recommend BSc Medical Technology. I don't mind so much about taking it instead, but it's not offered in the university I want to go to. A lot of doctors I know took BSc Biology, still, I'm not so sure. Maybe I just haven't met doctors who took BSc Medical Technology.
Can anyone help me decide which course would help me better? Thank you. :)

In the U.K a lot of universities allow you to upgrade your course from Biomedical/Physiology to Medicine. Bsc in Biology will not focus on Human Biology, but will cover this area. Biology covers a wide range of areas such as botany, ecosystems/diversity. Biology also contains a lot of mathematics and it i often recommended that you have a maths AS-Level
I am doing a Biomedical degree which part of a Biomedical Sciences division which include Biotechnology. If you wanting to do medicine you would be best doing Medical Technology as this would be a specialised degree, which a universities would be looking for a post-graduate entry. But which ever you choose you should aim for no less than a 2:1 as post-graduate
If you wanted more information you should contact the universities you want to study at a broad, there admissions office should be more than likely willing to talk to you via e-mail.

The way medicine is going, then Medical Technology would give you such a head start, it could mean a big difference in your eventual progression up the career ladder.

I'm pre-med, and my major is Neuroscience. You can major in anything you want and still go to medical school. As long as you take the required courses that pre-med entails- here in the US it's just a bunch of science courses.
So major in what you want. As long as you do good on the MCAT, all of us pre-med kids will end up in the same place.
