Tej

Microbiology BSc

At the end of my first year, I had an amazing opportunity to shadow one of my professors. Being able to observe her conducting research helped me understand that I would like to become a virology researcher.

Some of our lectures are delivered by external guest lecturers, many of whom work at Surrey Research Park, which is great as we can see how the content we’re learning about is being applied in the field.
