Studying at the School of Biosciences opens up so many opportunities; it's not just about the lectures and practicals, but also developing your own skills. The staff encourage you to be driven and motivated; in my first year I was able to get work experience in the microbiology labs and have a paid summer placement. The pastoral care is brilliant; I found the transition to university quite difficult but the support available does make it easier. If you're looking to be a happy and satisfied student, this is definitely the place for you.
