THATS IT BRO

ValentineMary:
I'm a student of biochem. And u most honestly need phy to get biochem. I guess biochem is d only dept in d faculty of bioscience that need phy.

Bro, recheck! He has Phy(bt unfortunately a pass). Some unis accept a pass in physics of these courses.

bookaddict:
am a student of Unilag studying Civil engineering..... nd i can tell u dat engineering is interesting if u dedicate tym nd energy.... nd lucrative if u eventually get a nyc Job.... graduates in d engineering can testify.... bt its nt just abt money bro,but wat u re really interested nd enjoy doing .gud luk

Bro thanks o. i'm just weighing my chances. please can u or anyone tell me the total years from 100l to surgical level. as in how long does it take to become a specialist. Is life as a doctor intresting, or jst boring? PLS MORE COMMENTS, NT ONLY FOR ME, BUT ALSO FOR THE SILENT VIEWERS WITH SIMILAR ISH

iwriterng:
Medical sciences is different from Medicine and Surgery.

Medical sciences has two divisions; Basic Medical Sciences which includes Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry and medical microbiology, the second division which is Clinical Sciences includes; Medical laboratory science, Clinical psychology, Pharmacology e.t..c. Most of these courses are not lucrative at first degree level, which means you must earn a second degree before you can start earning a reasonable income. Taking into account that this would take up to 8 straight years of studying (Same thing applies to medicine). Medical field is not as crowded as Engineering, hence you stand a higher chance of getting a job compared to your Engineering counterpart.

Can't say much about Engineering though.

Wow! this is an eye opener. please can u add more? referring to MEDICINE.

urchman101:
Well...... I will comment from the Engineers perspective. To be a very successful engineer u need to often think and flow with the dynamicity of the career path. Technologies change now nd then, it is never routine except u want it, then if so get ready to be stagnant. Secondly most engineering jobs especially at entry levels requires you to move up nd down and at times under unfavourable conditions and requires you to often make very calculated decisions. Are u ready? Thirdly u will get to find out that engineering is more than the formulae nd theories taught in the class, but it is all about you nd you way of reasoning nd anaylsing issues. These are but a few. So are u willing?

Hmmm! i'm more perplexed. boss hw much do u knw abt achitecture?

@MAZIOMENUKO. 4yrs + for residency? when i'm thinking its 1yr. and yes i meant "MBBS"

juanmata:
Civil is always considered d best in Nigeria, but Electronic is for Advance nations

Hmmm what about Pet./Chemical? Are u an engineer, or an Engineering student?

bisous:
. I wouldn't know ,I think your mind is more sold out to engineering .......give it a short ,it may be your path

Not at all Sis, Only asking just to make comparison. because i knw i can't compare all Engineering discipline to Medicine.

bisous:
That's a possibility but the difference is there are more unemployed engineers than medical scientists..... in other words as a medical personnel you aren't likely to look for jobs

So which Engineering discipline do you consider most awarding when compared to their Medical counterparts?

bisous:
Now that's not a question I can help you with ......you have to sit down and ask yourself how much you are willing to put into it

Talking about the pay. Heard Engineering pays higher!

bisous:
If you are considering the job market ,medical science(s) would pay off better

Pls! how do i knw i'm ready for medical school?

afolag:
broz one must be higher dan d oda, if not so den critically examine ur areas of strenght and weakness in accordance with d subject related to both. Engr (math f.math physics and chem)
medical ...phy chem bio if am right. Always remember this. U ar responsible for all d choices u make in life. dnt let anybody decide for u.
Goodluck.

THANKS A MILLION! I do better in phy, then bio/maths, then chem. (fmaths exclusive)

afolag:
I really cant say d best out of the two....but my candid advice is for u to go for the one u ar most interested in, so dat wen d dark cloud comes u will need ur interest to kip u goin. it wnt be dat Y did I choose dis in d first place.
MY OPINION.

How do i knw the one that my intrest sparkles on? I'm intrested in both.

Contemplating on which to enrol for. pls help!

HERES THE LINK

OP, hope u wl pay me for making it clickable..

IT AINT WORKING BRO

Champella:
You can fill in UNIPORT or UNIUYO. Uyo to Port Harcourt is just a 2 hour journey.


Since they are both Federal Universities, you'll have to read twice as hard as you are reading currently to gain admission because Medicine & Surgery is a professional course. As such, the are so many candidates who always fill it in yearly.


My number is on my signature. You can drop me a whatsapp message so we talk more on this.

WOW THANKS BRO! BUT MY WHATSAPP PHONE GOT STOLEN JST YESTERDAY. And abt UNIPORT, i dnt want d school. can we talk on fb? thanks for time.

Pls nairalanders aint got any clue at all. i want to study medicine in the nearest nigerian varsities but confused on which will favour me in terms of chance. i'm from abia based in p.h
