It's thanks to this university for opening my eyes to all the opportunities that are around.

Biomedical Science student

When I realised I hadn’t got the grades to get onto the course I was absolutely gutted. I got in touch with the university and I was advised that I could apply through clearing. The course lecturers were amazing, they called me back straight away and took all my details. I then had a telephone interview and was accepted onto the course through clearing. The university sorted all of the paperwork very efficiently and I started the course a week later. I was over the moon and so excited that they had given me the chance to better my life.
