Does your degree have to be related to your masters? I read somewhere this isn't true but I am not entirely sure. I like to do a master in Public Health but currently doing Biochemical engineering.

Mainly your GPA and your specialized test scores matter. Unless it is something crazy like English degree trying to get a master's in Astrophysics or History major switching to a field in Engineering. Then you would need some elaborate reason for them to accept you.

 

My girlfriend majored in English and is now doing her master's in Human Resources (Business) for example. She had a 3.5ish GPA and scored well on the GMAT, so she was accepted.

Ah I see, so Biochemical engineering is okay with going into public health and doing epidemiology? Too far or doable?

Spot on.

My major was in Psychology and my Master's in Business Adminstration. You just need to take the GMAT and score decently well and it shouldn't be an issue, unless the school has a very competitive graduate program for that subject (highly unlikely).

I am a grade A masters sarcastic Jacka**

 

Okay, really, my father is is a master electrician, which I may become an electrician and work for that status and roll in cash.

Chemical engineering is popular at my university. Thailand has a good petroleum engineering industry and many students do this as its good money.

 

What's a GMAT?

I wanted to do a Masters in Geology focusing on Paleontology. My major was in Animal Science. Not exactly related but it would have been accepted as long as I did all geology undergraduate courses first. Decided I've had enough schooling though. Don't have the energy to go back to school for another degree.

I have a double-masters degree in construction & design of self-made obstacles

GMAT is the specialized test for post graduate business education. I'd imagine each field has their own type of test. I have no idea about medical/science fields. I took the GMAT a few years ago, and it was like an ACT/SAT -- timed test challenging your quantitative thinking, analytical skills, etc.

For the record, this may very well be only a US standardized test (I'm not sure).

I wouldn't advise graduate school for anyone in America who doesn't have a pretty good money making career guaranteed at the end of it. Undergrad student loans are pretty bad, but graduate loans are BRUTAL. I pay over 7% interest on mine. Much less of a tax break, too.

Yeah true I have no idea about Thailand.  I can only speak from my own experience/girlfriends experience in the United States.

Do I have a chance or should I change my masters option? What field of medicine can I go into? Anything involving genetics, genetic engineering, virology, epidemics etc?

 

Second option is to just do Bioengineering or Biomedical. Don't know the difference but was told they are similar.

i have a masters at debating.

I heard these guys have a couple openings:

Errrr... you may want to talk to someone at the university. I don't think anyone here is qualified to speak to specific Thai biomolecular graduate level requirements in anything more than wide generalizations.

[Naughty Bear]

Is it possible to do a masters and work? Or is it full time like a degree?

I have no idea sorry. I'm just a humble businessman with a MBA working for a Native American casino. Science is a foreign language to me, and Thailand is literally a foreign country lol.

Every program is different, but mine encouraged you to work while studying. They had programs  designed for working individuals, and faster paced ones designed for full time students. Financially I wouldn't of made it without supporting myself.

i dont know about your field but if you need work experience or on the job apprenticeship, you get paid while you learn. or at least you should. getting paid in experience is illegal. at least in canada.

Yeah, I completely agree. Even if I did do it, I wouldn't have a guaranteed job as there are not that many job openings within the Paleontology field. They're not well paid either unless you're a tenured university professor with a doctorate degree. Luckily my undergraduate degree was all paid up immediately so I don't have to worry about any of that anymore.

illuminatio: I hope so, would be good. I have a child on the way and wish to stay with my gf and child. I like to work to support.

I think graduate level science programs require you to take the GREs specific to that field. Medical schools generally would like you to take the MCATs, which are hard core science and verbal reasoning questions. Applicants trying to get into dentistry take the DATs. Pharmacists, I think, make an attempt at PCATs.

 

Please correct me on this.
