I am thoroughly enjoying my course. Being fascinated by the composition of living things, I plan to complete my undergraduate studies and then pursue a master’s in solid-state Chemistry and Physics. This will give me the best background to pursue further research as a postgraduate. I’ve already gained so many new skills and consolidated others. Communication, problem solving and scientific research methods are the three most vital to my career aspirations. Science Communication is perhaps the most valuable. Being able to communicate confidently and effectively with a range of audiences is essential to my work. I’m lucky to have had so many opportunities to hone this skill during my course.
