How could I gain a career in biophysics?

[ElleD]

Hi, I am currently in the last year of sixth form and looking to go to university. However, I am unsure of which course to take since I equally enjoy learning about biology and physics. Biophysics, seems like it would be the ideal career for me but I am unsure of what pathways I could take to attain this. If anybody could give me some advice or let me know what I could expect to be doing as a biophysicist, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot, ElleD :)

Generally biophysics is a subset of the physics department in any given university, so your best bet is to get a physics degree. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, thanks for your help!

Some universities have dedicated biophysics departments as Johns Hopkins while other have programs originating in the physics department with strong ties to the biology and chemistry department
