Science Study Stories
How much time will I spend in the labs?
Each week, your learning will be split between practical lab sessions where you will learn to use the equipment and carry out your own research projects, and taught lectures which will give you the theoretical knowledge needed in each module.
Will the university help me to find work experience or industry placements?
While students are responsible for securing their own work experience and industry placements, our tutors will guide and support you through the process. Industry experience not only enables you to apply your knowledge in real-world situations but allows you to form those vital connections early on in your career. We have links with a range of leading organisations and, where possible, will assist students in securing placements.
Got another question?
We know that deciding which direction to take your science studies is a big step. If you have any further questions, our friendly team will be happy to answer them for you.
