The BSc should take you three years in the UK, four in the US or Canada. The MSc is one extra year in the UK, and one to three in the USA (but in the US, I'd go for a funded PhD that includes the masters in it, if you wanted to pursue it that far).
Medicine, you mean to be a doctor? there are jobs in biotech, even in remote places like where I live. But medicine is in demand even more (of course, if you want to be an MD it will take a lot longer...and a lot more training)

Biotechnology is a vast field and has lot of scope. Jobs exist in R&D as well as for managerial tasks. BSc., B.Tech etc. are various courses available at the graduation level.
After BSc. one can go for MSc. in Biotechnology. MSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.
After doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology.

I think you should take some courses that may enlighten you to the English language. Perhaps something teaching proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
You're welcome.
