Student Profile(s)

Natalie Pickwell

Background

After completing my Degree in Genetics in 2008 I left education to work for the NHS. After a 4 year break I decided it was time to return to education and gain my master’s degree and chose Nottingham University as the place I wished to study. I can honestly say I have no regrets.

The course

This course has been a fantastic experience, the lecturers are approachable and many of the sessions are interactive, working in small groups problem solving and then comparing notes. We regularly had guests come and lecture about their specialisms and how their fields are evolving with the advent of new molecular techniques. Being able to undertake a laboratory research project as part of the course has provided me with invaluable skills and enabled to me to venture to a different part of campus, meet new people and have some wonderful experiences as well as helping me to decide on the next step in my career. The support from the staff and department as a whole is brilliant.

Facilities

For the sociable individual, there are a whole range of extra-curricular activities on campus to enjoy, I particularly love the Judo club, not to mention the city itself. The combination of a brilliantly run course and the extra activities has made my time at Nottingham extremely enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

Lorenzo Pavanello

Background

After completing my undergraduate Biotechnology studies in Milan, I decided to undertake a Masters degree in the UK. This was as I wanted to learn English for scientific research and improve my knowledge in Genetics. Therefore, I planned a one-week journey around the country to visit 4 universities.

Why Nottingham?

After my trip, it was clear that The University of Nottingham was where I wanted to study. It provided the best facilities and labs, while the people were always willing to help.

The course

I started studying hard from the very beginning! In the second semester, which included the most interesting courses, a 4-month research project was scheduled for students to practice all the techniques learnt during the lectures.

I am currently doing this research project and have to say it is one of the best experiences of my life. I feel independent when performing my experiments but, at the same time, I can always share ideas or doubts with my supervisor or other PhD students around the lab.

Facilities

When studying for exams, the libraries saved my life! I now consider it normal to have silent rooms where you can concentrate, free wi-fi, free iPads and laptops, screens for group projects and presentations and easy accessible printers - but this is absolutely outstanding!
