BSc (Hons) Cell and Molecular Bioscience
My course provides me with great knowledge on the structural foundations of biology, along with a focus on practical work. I am very excited about the path I'm following as it offers great career prospects in the medicine, research, and biotechnology industries. As a student far from home, having a strong sense of community with endless campus activities for students is a real benefit for me.
