The Frank May Clinical Sciences Lecture 2015
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend a talk by Jeremy Farrar, the Director of the Wellcome Trust. For those that haven’t heard of the Wellcome Trust, it is a global charity who’s work aims to improve global health (link to their website here). In terms of scientific research, funding from […]
An Internship possibility?
Unfortunately, it has been really difficult to find something to do after graduation. Going out into the real world is scary, and the competition for places on graduate schemes etc., is so high. Not to scare all of you, but it is akin to the Hunger Games! I would advise students, even in their first […]
After University…
It only hit me today that I only have 2 more weeks of official University! When Biological Sciences come back after Easter, it’s all about revising for exams. And with the final few assignments due in the next couple of weeks, it sure is scary to think that this stage of learning might be coming […]
Interview complete
Sooo, I can breathe a lovely sigh of relief, now the interview for the NHS Graduate Scheme in Health Informatics Management has passed. Although I knew that the interview would be quite a calming environment with NHS managers (from contacting current graduates in the scheme) there was s till a nervous pang in my stomach […]
Early Post-Uni-Ramblings?
Hey hey blogosphere. As this blog’s title ominously suggests, I have been making decisions about post University decisions. What I’ve realised, from seeing my friends who have graduated so far, is to get into SOMETHING after graduation. Something meaningful, which can possibly provide a stepping stone for other things or prepare me for life where I’m […]
21st via India
It’s been a while since I last whacked out an illustrious blog (no dirty humour intended), but I have been kept very busy here on my internship (I’m not on holiday you know!) Which I have had to repeat to several friends and family whenever they ask me for my latest adventures. Needless to say, […]
Indian Internship
Hello there international blogging friends! I hope that since I have spent a year in Finland and will spend 2 and a half months in India, I may have increased my audience by a few hundred thousand (harharhar). Anyway, now that I have settled in and I have Internet access, please pull up a chair, […]
Part 3: Here come the interviews! The telephone interview:
I remember the first reply I got from one of the pharmaceutical industries I applied to for an industrial placement was a rejection email stating that unfortunately I was not suited for the role. It was a depressing moment as that was when I thought the rejections would come flooding through and it tastes just […]
Part 2: The application form
Continuing on from my last blog post (Applying for an Industrial placement: What does it involve? Part 1: Information sessions), here is my second post based on the application forms you need to complete when applying for industrial placements. Take care. This is a critical stage of the application process and where many applications are […]
Applying for an Industrial placement: What does it involve? Part 1: Information sessions
As part of your degree here at the University of Leicester, whether it be one from the Biological Sciences or Medical stream, you have the option of applying for a year in industry between the second and third years of your course. This is also known as a ‘sandwich year’ and converts your degree from […]
