    I'm not doing that course but we have shared some of the same modules with that class over that last few years. I'm not trying to put you off but the it is a serious workload. Lectures and practicals amount to about 25+ hours per week. Of the 15 or so that began the course, there is only one person left this year! It is supposed to be a very interesting course if you have an interest in science though. It starts off in first year with some basic chemistry/biology/physics modules and gets more advanced each semester. If you have a genuine interest in science and can work hard, go for it!

    workload is no greater than the other science courses, low numbers in third year ok (due to many reasons) but first year and second year have app 20 in each.
