Pharmacology, biomedical science or medicinal chemistry major?

Annie made this Official Information request to University of Auckland

University of Auckland did not have the information requested.

From: Annie

Dear University of Auckland,

I'm planning to start my study at the University of Auckland next year in 2023, and I'm just wondering about the main difference between pharmacology, biomedical science & medicinal chemistry major in the Science degree.
-the difference places I could be working at if I'm willing to complete PHD
-whether the job opportunity is bad/ average/ good/ great (and is there job opportunity available in many cities?)
-the average salary I could possibly start with once I've just completed my PHD.

(sorry, I know some of the question are quite hard to be answered, but please help me to answer these questions as I really love the idea of entering the science research field but my parents are concerned about whether that will lead me to a good future. Many thanks)

Yours faithfully,

Annie

Kia ora Annie,
I am a postdoctoral researcher (at UoA) who studied Medicinal Chemistry at UoA. Happy to have a chat with you about the topic of your query - I won't put my email address directly here but I'm pretty easy to find on the University website. Feel free to send me an email and we can set up a chat if you'd like.
