Hello aspirant,

The difference between the two is as follows:
BSc Biomedical Science: Biomedical Science deals with developing knowledge or technologies in healthcare or public health. It revolves around the biology of human health and diseases and also covers more specialized topics such as human nutrition, human physiology, and pharmacology.

Job opportunities:
After a BSc in biomedical science, you could either go for Masters's and get into the research and development sector. If you have a knack for experimenting research might. Be the right way to go, as you can contribute to changes in this field of study.
Also, opt for a Masters's abroad for better exposure.

Another option is to become a biological scientist, pharmacist, biomedical engineer

Future Scope:
It is one of the branches that are unexplored and is also very competitive. But it is rewarding and owing to the making India a research powerhouse there are bound to have more job opportunities in the future.

BSc in LIFE sciences: is a natural science and deals with the study of plants, animals, humans, and microorganisms.

Job opportunities:
Researcher, pathologist, immunologist, horticulturist, nutritionist
You could either go for higher studies and get into research work eventually or get a job after BSc. You would have better opportunities after higher studies though.

Future scope:
Life science has a good amount of opportunities in India as well as abroad.

The starting salary package of both these fields is less initially. Also, at the end of the day, it depends upon what are you more interested in. These branches are slowly picking up opportunities in India, and the opportunities that are there are very competitive. So you need to stand out from other candidates.

I hope this helps!

Thank you!
