ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

What I enjoy most about ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is the strong sense of community combined with the wide range of opportunities available to students.

Something unique that ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ offered was the model clinical wards and multidisciplinary team (MDT) aspect of the Kate Granger Building, alongside the new anatomy facilities.

The course doesn’t just aim to expand your knowledge, but also helps develop other key skills required to be a physicist, such as coding, as well as written and oral communication.

The insight I gained on my prison placement strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, non-judgemental care to everyone I work with.

The societies are a huge part of why I enjoy being here, especially as an engineering student. ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ has a great range of clubs and societies, but the engineering focused societies stand out because they give you the chance to work on real projects for competitions. 

I like the practical aspect of my course, as it allows me to apply what I learn in real time. My favourite project was building a bionic prosthetic hand with my teammates. We 3D‑printed the hand in our Design Centre and assembled it end‑to‑end in the workshop with support from the workshop technicians.

The placement allowed me to see how academic theory is applied in real-world scenarios, while also gaining insight into how civil engineering consultancy operates on a day-to-day basis. Overall, the experience strengthened my technical knowledge, improved my professional skills, and confirmed my interest in pursuing a career within the water and infrastructure sector.

Clinical rotations in the final year of vet school are a brilliant step in preparing you for the working world as a veterinary surgeon.
