• Question: What courses did you take at university? And was there anything you did that made you feel more prepared (e.g. extra courses online)?

      Great question Alex. I did a vocational degree (Veterinary Medicine) so I didnt get much choice in the courses that I took on that. For my Masters in Epidemiology and Public Health I had quite a few choices and tailored them to be more about understanding disease outbreaks.
      In terms of preparation, a lot of what you have done at school will prepare you well. The main thing is to try and be an independent learner. In lectures they may not give you all the information that you need to learn and they will expect you to make your own notes. From a vet perspective, as much time as you can doing work experience at a variety of different vet practices is really useful

    I did a mixture of courses in maths, computing, science and engineering at University. I was also a member of lots of societies where I learned other things such as rock climbing, singing, amateur radio, folk dancing and cheese appreciation. During my summer vacations I worked both in the electronics industry and also as a mountaineering instructor. I encourage my students at Bath to do a mixture of academic work and other things (such as societies) to broaden their experience and skills.
