It's a bit late to be asking this really, but DD has firmed and reserved 2 Natural Sciences courses at good unis, both with the same high offer unfortunately. One has a placement year and the other doesn't.
She thinks she would like to join a grad scheme at a Pharmaceutical and is particularly keen,at the moment, on working in drug research.
Does any one know how a Natural Sciences degree is regarded by pharma companies, and whether a degree with a placement year is better, or should she do the 3 year course and then look at a Masters?
She is thinking of swapping her firm and reserve which apparently can be done, but again am not sure if this is recommended or how likely it is that the universities would agree anyway.
Advice welcome..
