Quotes from BMS graduates
| Ed (off to study medicine) "The best thing about studying Biomedical Science at Sheffield is the fact that you are given the opportunity to learn so much, with brilliant departmental resources and lecturers always ready to lend out a helping hand. You get the opportunity to acquire and develop some lifelong skills, from lab work to public speaking and the BMS society is one of the best in the University with activities for all sorts.'' |
Jess (off to do a Masters) "I've really enjoyed Biomedical Science at Sheffield. 3rd year was my favourite because we got lectures and lab options so we could study the area of biomedical science we enjoyed and were interesting. I have accepted a place on MSc Molecular Medicine at Sheffield University, to carry on my education in this field of science and at such a brilliant university." |
| Rebecca (off to study medicine) "The best thing about studying Biomedical Science at Sheffield has been the variety of the course; ranging from labs, to anatomy with human dissection to lecture based concepts, there is something to satisfy everyone's interests and career aspirations. The lecturers are very approachable and supportive and the BMS society is also very lively with plenty of socials and volunteering opportunities for anything and everything." |
Denis (off to study medicine) "The best thing about studying Biomedical Science at Sheffield is the high quality of lectures as each lecturer teaches about their edge-cutting, sometimes even unpublished, research from their own labs. By studying Biomedical Science at Sheffield, I had the unique opportunity of having dissection classes which have greatly stimulated my interest in anatomy and combined pathological theory from lectures with practical systemic aspects." |
| Catherine (off to be a teacher) "The thing I have most enjoyed studying is anatomy, being one of the few BMS courses in the country to be able to do human dissection was a massive privilege and an amazing learning experience. This made the subject much more interactive and easier to learn." |
Genevieve (off to start a PhD) "Through studying at Sheffield, I have developed an interest and appreciation of the current and historic breakthroughs in biomedical research and their implications in furthering our understanding biology and in treating disease." |
| Fiona (off to study medicine) "The best thing about studying Biomedical Science at Sheffield has been being taught a wide variety of subjects by lecturers that are conducting research into the areas they are teaching...so we get to know the most up to date information in the field! As I come to the end of my degree, I think the most useful skills I have learnt are how to work better in a group, how to present scientific information confidently and clearly to peers and to take control of my own learning. My career aspirations are to study medicine as a second degree. Studying Biomedical Science has helped me in this as I have learnt a lot about the human body and how it works and it has further increased my interest in the subject." |
Ruth (hoping to do a PhD) "The best thing about studying Biomed at Sheffield is have contact with academics at the forefront of the field. I also enjoyed being able to have the opportunity to study human anatomy through dissection, being able actually see the structures in context was very valuable. One of things I most enjoyed about studying in Sheffield is the wide range cultural diversity in the student and staff populations. The Union of Students I also believe to be one of the best in the country and all the extracurricular activities I did very much enriched my university experience. As I come to the end of my degree, I think some of the most useful skills I have learnt are having confidence in making presentations, time management and how to read scientific papers." |
