ADVICE NEEDED! Biomedical Science @ University of Bradford-> Entry to Medicine?

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 09:23 AM PDT

Hi all,

I am a student in Singapore who have recently completed her diploma in psychology studies. As my goal is to be a doctor, I have applied to universities locally in my country and have received offers to study the following:
1) Psychology in National University of Singapore (NUS)
2) Psychology in Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
3) Biomedical Science at University of Bradford (Bradford has a branch here located in Singapore).

After three years of studying psychology, i feel that it is not really what i want and thus I intend to pursue the biomedical science awarded by university of bradford and then enter graduate medicine in UK. I would thus like to know and seek advice from students whom have went to bradford and studied this course.
Are students that study biomedical in bradford able to enter medicine school?
What are the percentage of the students entering grad med?
Do you guys think that psychology is a much better option than biomed?

My parents would prefer me to study in either NUS and NTU as they said that Bradford is not as high in the ranking as compared to NUS and NTU. I am currently lost and in crossroads and really need your advice.

Any help is appreciated. Please. Thank you so much for reading.
