"As a secondary school teacher, I found this event very beneficial. The content provided was super. The panel had a large range of information available, and I was able to gain valuable data to take back to my students "
Attendee, Teachers’ Conference 2024
"I knew I always wanted to do something biology related as it was my favourite subject in school. I really enjoyed my course, I think the wide variety of module options presented to me during my time here is what made it appealing. I was able to tailor my interests and what I exceled at to really get the most out of the teaching here and find my niche. My proudest moment was my final year research project. It was unlike any assignment I had done up until that point. While it was the most difficult piece of work I've ever done, I was lucky enough to be able to pick a specific topic under the wider project title, which inspired me more to put my all into it."
