What our students say
Placement Student @ UCB
One of the highlights of the placement were being able to observe and carry out experiments using equipment far superior to anything that I had used before. Also, I feel that the placement vastly furthered my knowledge of immunology, as well as giving me a fantastic insight into the day to day life working in a laboratory.
Placement Student @ Gatwick Greenspace
The highlights for me were endless - from helping run an Ecology Day with six schools from the local area to finding a bat on our bat box checks. (…) After what I have learnt on my placement, I can happily say that I am so much more confident in my field. Not only have I learnt more about ecological surveying techniques, like using bat boxes and using dormouse traps, but I am now far clearer about how to get into Ecology as a career.
Placement Student @ Royal Surrey County Hospital
Highlights of the placement were getting to observe the doctors and patients interact with each other. In addition to this, getting to see procedures such as rectal and prostate brachytherapy was both interesting and exciting! All of the consultants were extremely friendly and also were very happy to teach me both about the science and the patient care side of things.
Year Abroad
Students are also invited to search independently at any time and compatible with their studies, and in this case, we can offer support during the application, revising it or advising on it.
