Having the STEM lab has provided a brilliant opportunity to improve my Lab skills, which is a really important skill that employers look for. Also, the Clyde Williams Labs have helped to improve my understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology, as I have had access to skulls, vertebrae, and whole skeletons.
After my degree, I would love to work in a laboratory environment in research. The practical sessions on my course have helped me to develop my lab skills and given me the opportunity to go into a career like research.
My advice to anyone thinking of studying Biological Sciences is to look at the variety of modules available on the course, the practical sessions, and the facilities available. It is not every day that you get to nurture your laboratory skills in a state-of-the-art STEM lab. Also, make use of your lecturers. So many lecturers are really happy to help you, you just have to ask.
