Whats the difference between BSc Life Science, BSc Biological Science, BSc Bio Medical Science compared to BSc Botany / Zoology? Which one leads to better options for MSc and PhD later?

Arushi Kaushik 3rd Oct, 2021

In answer to your question, first let me explain the difference between these streams, starting with

Botany

  • Botany or plant Biology also known as plant science is the scientific study of plant life. Which one among the vital branches of biology, which deals with the study and Research related to plant life. Botany along with the study of plants also include the study of fungi and algae.
  • The person who studies botany is known as botanist or a plant scientist.
  • It deals with the study of plant structure, growth and differentiation, reproduction biochemistry and primary metabolism, chemical Products etc.

Zoology

  • Zoology or animal Biology deals with the study of animal life like botany, even zoology is one among the vital branches of biology which further has its own sub branches.
  • The person who studies zoology is called as zoologists or an animal scientist.
  • Educe with wast studies related to animal structure, formation, psychological, evolutionary and systematic ethology.

Biomedical sciences

  • It is a set of Applied Sciences applying portions of natural science or formal science knowledge, intervention or technology that are to be used in healthcare or public health.
  • It combines the field of Biology and medicine in order to focus on the health of both animals and humans.
  • As a biomedical science student you will study biochemical and physiological functions, anatomical and histological structures etc.

Now you need to understand is that, All the above three fields are very important and have a very good scope in future.

But all the streams are very different from each other as one deals in plants, other in animals and the third one in medicines so, firstly you need to evaluate what excites you the most was choosing botany will lead you into agriculture and that has a very good scope in future. Selecting zoology willing directly make you a doctor of animals. Opting for biomedical science will lead you into pharmacy and you know how composition some medicines are made and how medicines are useful for Healthcare.

See you need to evaluate your interest that in what particular field you be doing good because knowing what is best is temporary and building a career upon interest is permanent.

What is best among these three will not help you, but building a career based upon your interest will be the key to success.

My advice to you is, first know your interest and strength and based upon it choose your career wisely.


Hope this helps,

which course is best life science prog. or botany hons.

Supriya Omi 20th Aug, 2021
Hello there!
When one moves ahead in the field of biology, then Life Science is together studied in bits.
If you want to move ahead in the field of botany, then botany honors is best.
Then you can move ahead in the same field and go for Phd as well.
Although some universities offer graduation and post graduation in life science also. Look for the same when checking the course content of the college.
One needs to clear the NET JRF examination for further studies where you need to study all the course content of life science as a whole.
Choose accordingly.
Good Luck!

Hello there!
See all of them are the different branches of Life Science.
The main difference in all the three subjects doesn't come at the initial level as all of the above mentioned courses contain small chapters consisting information of all of them.
So the main difference arises when one moves for higher studies. So choose according to your interest and what excites you.

Akshita Dhiman 10th Aug, 2021
Hello aspirant,

Biomedical Science deals with the organs and systems of the body.It is important when dealing with human diseases. Life sciences on the other hand has a wide range of topics from biochemistry to zoology.

Owing to this wide range of topics of study in life sciences, I would suggest life sciences is a better option. It will give you numerous opportunities in the future.

The average starting salary of bsc life science graduate is between 1.2-4Lpa. As you progress the career ladder in this respective field you will be earning more.

Job positions that you can work for are:
Researcher, Epidemiologist, Professor, Biomedical Engineer, even a, Pathologist

After completing the biomedical science, you can work as a researcher,  biomedical scientist, etc.

The starting average salary is somewhat similar to life sciences.It is between 1.8 to 4 lacs
