"I really enjoyed my time as a DoLS student in Biological Sciences. I have made friendships that endured beyond my degree, and picked up valuable skills through the degree itself as well as extracurricular activities outside of it!" Hansa, Biological Sciences student

"The practicality and interdisciplinary nature of my course have made it truly enjoyable and outstanding. The hands-on summer term projects have allowed me to apply classroom knowledge to real lab situations, managing everything myself from experimental design to result analysis. Beyond biochemistry, the course offers coding in R and Python, as well as statistics, incorporating valuable skills that enhance students’ employability in broader scientific fields." Ruchipat Kumpusiri, BSc Biochemistry with Management, Year 3

“My particular favourite part of the course was the emphasis on practical work, which allowed me to successfully apply for summer research internships. By far the most useful aspect was the focus on statistical analysis and coding - two skills that I use to this day in my everyday academic research. I also really enjoyed the Imperial Horizons program through which I learned both French and Japanese. Language lessons helped me balance the very STEM-heavy coursework. I was excited to put my French into practice when doing a Research Abroad year in France, where I met friends for life and became a better researcher through that. I am still good friends with the lab that mentored my final year project and I even collaborated with them during my graduate studies! Dr. Liisa Veerus, D.Phil, BSc in Biology with Research Abroad (France), 2013-16
