combining bioinformatics and physics... (1 Viewer)

[~K:e)th~]

I am thinking of doing BEng(bioinformatics)/BSc in UNSW.
Is it possible to combine them?
Is it too ambitious to major in physics in BSc(or even allowed)?(in terms of workload)
As i think they are completely different.

and one more question about bioinformatics,
some of my friends say I'll need at least a master or PhD to find a job in that field, if it is the case, what's the point of doing it in undergrad level?

- sure, you can combine
- it's fine, not too ambitious, workload is just a tiny bit more than straight phys or straight binf
- well pretty much any two degrees you can combine together and have some relevance

- dont know about binf jobs (but i reckon they are either exaggerating or dont know shit), but the point of doing it at ugrad is because if you have an interest in it you will enjoy it

You can find job with undergrad binf.... Most B Sc graduates can find a job as a research assistant. You only do Masters or PhD if you want to get into research.
