Biomedical Science: Personal Statement

1 Throughout my learning and early years at comprehensive school I began to take an increased

2 interest in science and pursued this interest by studying science at A-level. This was the

3 subject that most stimulated my passion for learning and continues to do so at university. I

4 have thoroughly enjoyed my first year of Biomedical Science gaining a fundamental

5 understanding of topics ranging from cell and organ function to microbiology. My ultimate goal

6 is a career in Dentistry and an undergraduate course in Biomedical Science would not only

7 provide a strong scientific framework but also develop my appreciation and understanding of

8 the phenomenal world of science.

9 An aspect

Another area of

14 interest for me is molecular biology, this being the biosciences departments strong suit at

15 Sheffield Hallam means I can pursue my interest in this topic with techniques that have been

16 developed in research as the techniques found in research are integrated into the course.

17 Research techniques being integrated ensures that the work being carried out is up to date and

18 means the information being delivered on the course keeps up with the ever-changing world of

19 science and I am keen to expand my knowledge and learning with these research techniques. A

20 further topic in the second year that I am interested in is the biomedical investigative

21 techniques as this will explore the problem-solving nature of science, and learning the

22 different investigative techniques will be useful and enjoyable due to the challenge in

23 investigation which is a key part of science.

24 Versatility is an integral characteristic needed to excel in Biomedical Science as the
