As a performance athlete I get regular support from a personal mentor who helps ensure I am able to achieve the highest levels in my studies and my sport. Aside from this I also get help from my course personal tutor, this allows me to bring up more course specific issues and acts as a direct link to the teaching staff.

This course is a great opportunity to study some new and exciting ideas and provides a great environment for expressing your ideas. The breadth of the course really allows you to explore different areas and may lead to you finding a new passion that leads you to a career you hadn’t considered before. The support from the course staff will ensure you are able to do your absolute best in all aspects of your life. I am planning to go on placement after completing my second year of studies and the do a masters after finishing the undergraduate portion of the course.

I would like to work at a top biomaterials company and eventually set up my own company. The university supports this through the placement guidance we get and the choice of modules so I can focus on the biomaterials side of the course.
