A friendly atmosphere and a safe space. There are places to study, work and create that are full of students but also quiet spots for independent study. Super encouraging and friendly staff/ teachers, most are also easy to contact on teams outside of uni hours.

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.
