During my Chemistry degree, I developed my presenting skills through projects and presentations, which has helped me build the confidence to take the lead, host meetings, and pull together staff from every area of the business for collaborative efforts.
Chemistry has also given me the drive to understand the root cause of events. My degree was invaluable in giving me the skills to investigate non-conformances or incidents and working to resolve the causes of any errors and working to prevent these from reoccurring.
Studying at Lancaster university was a wonderful experience. Within the Chemistry Department, there were countless members of staff who were supportive of our development and always had time to answer our questions. I had the opportunity to do a research project in my third year that worked towards a published paper to do with SSNMR of photochromic chemicals. It was also great to use facilities that were state of the art and near brand new!
Lancaster also has a wide variety of societies to try. I joined multiple during my time at Lancaster and found that there's something for everyone. The campus is also so beautiful - it's surrounded by the countryside and green space, yet maintains a sense of community on campus.
