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).

UoL Orchestra performs in the snow. Every February, universities across the UK participate in ‘Raising and Giving’ (RAG) Week, and here at Leicester we’ve been giving it all we’ve got.

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 […]

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.

The I-Science Society kicked things off in style with a society meal at their new sponsor, boasting food from all over the world. It was a great chance to properly meet those just starting the degree, along with everyone else that have long been a part of it. It’s funny how a small department means […]

Now that A-level results are in and many are confirming their place at university for the next three or four years, it seems apt to give some advice for those about to start natural sciences here. So here’s some things I wish I had known back in 2011. (Bear in mind this is just my […]
