With the clock ticking, my focus has expanded beyond succeeding in my course to include future career plans. It’s never too early to think of your career aspirations and make steps towards them. Luckily, […]

For the last two weeks myself and another natural sciences student (although I guess I’m about to be a graduate!) have been caught between the airflow of two overworked fans as we struggle to keep the physics lab at a bearable temperature. Over the course of July we’ve been tasked with designing modules for […]

Throughout July the department once again opened its doors to prospective students, offering taster lectures, talks on how the natural sciences course is designed, and displaying a host of material made by undergraduates over the years. As well as the seemingly endless biscuits, it’s always great to hear the aspirations of A-level students, and from a potential […]

For the past week the third year of natural sciences has been immersed in quantum mechanics and magnetism, in particular in understanding how on the nanoscale, quantum size effects favour the formation of single-domain particles, giving rise to powerful magnets. Such magnets show a lot of promise in hyperthermia treatment of tumours due to their […]

How did it come round so quickly? This is the question I have been thinking for the past few days. At 5pm this Friday all of my University submission will be finished. This last term has been hectic to say the least and I have been so busy working hard on my various modules that […]

This weekend was the first visit day of the academic year. For those of you that are unsure, a visit day is similar to an open day in that the University opens its doors to prospective students who come to get an idea of what it would be like to study here. However, visit days […]

As I have just finished preparing myself for a job interview I have today I thought that a would write a little post about part time work whilst you are a student. A lot of students want a job whilst at Uni for that bit of extra money. Between my friends and I we represent […]
