Hey, congratulations! Your A-Levels are over and you’ve made it – you’re going to uni. Seeing as you’ve chosen to come to Leicester, you’ve obviously got good common sense (and impeccable taste in higher education providers). However, I thought it would still be beneficial for me to compile a short list of five hints and […]

Packing your entire life up in boxes can be a daunting prospect, but I promise that it’s so, so much easier than it first appears. Well, maybe ‘easy’ is the wrong word, but it’s certainly do-able. My first recommendation for a stress-free packing experience is to use a packing list. I personally like this […]

Previously I did a blog about “Making the Most of University” where I reflected on the myriad of opportunities to have fun, learn and develop at university, aside from your course. I concluded that blog by saying that all you have to do is search for them; which is true, but I wanted to make […]

Today I’ve been reflecting on my university experience and I can honestly say that deciding to go to university was definitely a great decision. I’ve learnt so much through the Natural Science course but what I didn’t expect was how much learning I’d be doing outside of my course too. The subject you choose […]

Last Friday the final day of my degree ended not with a triumphant final exam, but with 5pm quietly putting an end to the last few weeks of assessed work for the scientific computing and complex systems modules.

On Friday the Interdisciplinary Science Society hosted their final social event of the year, bringing all years of the degree (and staff!) together for a formal dinner at the Belmont hotel.

Between the monotonous days in the lab that are quickly drawing to a close and writing up results, my girlfriend and I made some time to take a break, heading up north to her parents and down south to mine. Long walks along Tandle Hill on the outskirts of Manchester felt a far cry from […]

With this being a blog about the experiences of a science undergraduate, I thought I’d post some of my favourite resources related to science that I find myself visiting. Many of these inspired and continue to inspire me to pursue science, and I hope they do the same for you. Periodic Videos/Sixty Symbols/Deep Sky Videos/Numberphile […]
