“In 2014 I was part of the UROS programme (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme), which allowed me to receive a bursary to undertake my own research. As my first taste of research, it meant I could experience working in a laboratory and share an office with PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. This helped me to make an informed choice about whether I wanted a career in research or not, and to network with others who could help me with my final year project.” Esther Uwannah - Medical Physics MSci 2015
