COURSE:
MChem Chemistry, Class of 2016
The quality of teaching on my course at Surrey was superb. The lecturers always seemed to have time for their students, and genuinely seemed interested in delivering a great learning experience. Everyone was so friendly and the course content was really interesting.
During my course I became more interested in the practical and technological aspects of chemistry. This is mostly due to my placement year at Perkin-Elmer, where I was given the opportunity to get involved in programming and data analysis, among other things.
I’m currently studying for a PhD in Chemistry here at Surrey. The opportunity to discover something that has never been seen before in the universe is what drives me. I find my research highly stimulating. My advice to students hoping to do a PhD would be to get the best degree you can and diversify your skills.
