What students say about life-science

Best: - The diversity of the students - Everything is very accessible and in a good location in terms of city centre and student campuses - Plenty of opportunities to have and things to do Worst: - because it’s such a big university, it can be hard to feel close to lecturers so if I need help with something I don’t really know who to go to - not super clear where/who to go to when I need something

Isolating at first. Need to find friends quick or everyone will gwt into their own groups and itll be awkward trying to join in. Lots of online stuff and few hours axtually on campus - was surprising how little you have schedueled compared to 6th form.

The best aspect of my University is their Student support and I rate them the best in this regard, while their grading system is a bit too conservative, and I would wish that they become a little more liberal with marks/grades.

What students say about life-science

I really appreciate the library for its peaceful environment, which is perfect for focusing on my studies. However, I've noticed a few areas that could be enhanced for a better experience. For instance, it's great that there are vending machines on the ground floor to grab a quick sandwich or water when hungry, but the absence of a microwave and a water heater is a bit of an inconvenience. This is especially true for times when someone, particularly girls during their menstrual cycle or anyone with a stomachache, might need warm food or a hot drink. It would be wonderful if the school could consider adding these facilities to make our library time even more comfortable.

What students say about life-science

I absolutely love the place and all it stands for. If I had my way, I would never leave! As a mature student, returning to education after an office based career, it has changed my life very much for the better. I have more confidence in myself and my own abilities than I have ever had. The course was not easy and I have never worked so hard on so many things at once, but all the hard work leads to huge satisfaction upon completion of it. A degree course is not for the faint hearted - you get out what you put in! I have nothing to compare Bishop Burton College with, I just know that I loved it and can’t wait to start my third year.

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

Studying life science

The study of life science involves the study of living organisms and their processes, which plays a pivotal role in advancing medical treatments, preserving ecosystems, and addressing global challenges such as disease outbreaks and climate change. Life scientists seek to understand the complexities of life at cellular, molecular, and ecological levels, and students typically cover biology, genetics, ecology, physiology, and pharmacology topics while pursuing a degree. At postgraduate level, students can specialise in a particular area of interest, and have opportunities to participate in advanced research projects. Life science offers diverse career opportunities, from scientific research work to healthcare practise and consultancy, as well as jobs in analysis and policy making.
