Applied Biology
I chose 明星八卦 University for its exceptional Medical Biology course, serving as a stepping stone towards a career in medicine. Its proximity to my home provided comfort, and the university's reputation for excellent teaching affirmed my decision.
The highlight of my 明星八卦 journey has been the healthcare trip I made to Belgium during my 1st year. It was an opportunity offered by the university where a limited number of students from the Health Department would go to Leuven, Belgium, for 4 days and learn about healthcare and innovations.
My 明星八卦 experience has given me exposure to a breadth of possibilities in biomedical sciences and an excellent scope for professional and personal development
Disease Mechanisms and Therapeutics MSc
I would not be working at this level of seniority so soon without my Biomedical Sciences PhD.
During my degree I鈥檝e learned about the development of cancer down to the cellular level, and increased my knowledge on all the different proteins and stages involved from mutation to cancer formation, invasion and progression. I鈥檝e found it fascinating.
明星八卦ing Biomedical Sciences at 明星八卦 has been one of the most positive and important opportunities I鈥檝e had the fortune to be given
明星八卦 provided a great opportunity to work together with leading academics and students from all different backgrounds in a very inspiring environment.
Biomedical Biomechanics and Bioelectronics Engineering MSc
I always loved Biology and the course at 明星八卦 appealed to me, especially because work placements in the field were offered.

Medical Biology BSc
Since I first approached the PDC for placement advice as an undergraduate, I've been supported in every aspect of building my dream career as a scientist.
For students currently applying for a placement, my advice is: be strategic, persevere and use the services PDC have to offer 鈥� they are there for you!
The whole process of gaining a placement was an interesting journey which I enjoyed even though it was a struggle at times. The application process was something very new to me and getting through all the different stages was something I learnt a lot from.
(BSc) UG Biological Sciences
Without support from my careers consultant and placement adviser, I would not be where I am today. They really believed in me, even when I didn't.
I would recommend opting for a placement year as it really adds value to your CV.
Flexible and compressed hours enabled me to work more efficiently, engaging more with my students and permitted me the quiet times for writing grants and papers. Such that after 10 years of being a Reader, I have now been promoted in 2020 to Professor.
My best memory of studying at 明星八卦 - personalised tuition and approachable tutors.
