My advice to a natural science student would be to begin your studies, both revision and coursework early - from week one if possible. You will be given deadlines for coursework and dates for exams; don’t let them stack up and creep up on you.
Develop a good work-rest routine and enjoy your free time actively, whether that be in sports, attending societies, or going out. This is the best way to ensure that you feel you are getting the ‘student experience’ while still making the most of your degree.
With regards to the future, I intend on applying for postgraduate degree in Medicine. I believe that my Natural Sciences BSc provides the optimum grounding for a medical degree.
