I knew I wanted to study Biology but did not know which specific areas I liked most. I was attracted to the University of Bath as I was taught a broad range of topics at the start, from wider ecosystems, all the way down to the molecular level, with the opportunity to specialise later.

The placements were also a huge draw. The department are really helpful in finding placements, which provide invaluable experience and skills for your career.


I have really enjoyed my time at Bath. There are lots of ways to get involved in the university through sports, the arts or pretty much anything you like!
