can i apply for the medecine concours without SV/LS diploma?
i mean if i study the book alone, having passed the SG and have the official diploma, can i do the concours or do i need some biology degree?

you still need to do one year biology at science faculty.
do both.

the engineering and IT field is overwhelmed and the industry will be going thru a tremendous change during the upcoming 6 years.
in 2020, things will be nothing as what you know it now to be. the it industry is changing at all levels voiding many currently heavily used job roles. automation, orchestration, robotics, energy efficiency are going to turn the industries upside down. IT will totally change by 2020 and robotics and automation with become more common by the end of 2025 and mainstream at the latest 2030.

in the medical side, there is an upcoming huge growth in research and data analytics. so if you are a medical researcher and play your cards right, by the time you graduate in 2020, you would be in hot demand and have a job that will exist beyond 2030.
@az ok thanks, i had a friend who did the usj entrance exam as Sg he studied the book alone. i see it is not the case for uL.
@ bashlogic you are right, engineering field is not as stable, we never know what the future brings in, i mean it could even be positive change, not that engineering will be obsolete.
on the other side, people always Get sick. :D

that is exactly why i am confused what to do.

im gonna do my best in school now, i might get scholarships. otherwise i will apply for both concours faculty of science and engineering in LU.
thanks everyone, this enlightened me about the facts.
One more thing I'd like to say : In case you thought of going with the medicine plan , don't be afraid of the future.
I know doctors who graduated in the 60s , they still work A LOT. That's 50+ years of technology revolutions. You know people will always need other people.
