"Before my placement at Eli Lilly, I was still unsure about whether I wanted to follow a medical or research based route. However, after the last year, I can confidently say that I intend on pursuing the latter.
"The process of researching a specific topic, assessing the current gaps in knowledge and then developing a new project idea, was something I absolutely loved and want to continue doing throughout my career."
Stephen Salem, BSc Biomedical Science with a Year in Industry: www.sheffield.ac.uk/…/prospe…/stories /stephen-salem-1.796597

Spending a year in industry is a great way to get an insight into the range of opportunities available to biomedical science students after graduation.
Here five of our students revisit their placements, what they learned and the skills they gained.

"My decision to pursue biomedical science at Sheffield was quite a simple one. The prospect of choosing a year in industry was exciting and I knew the value it would add to my education.
"As an international student, it was very important for me to choose a place with friendly and accepting people - definitely two characteristics that set Sheffield and the university apart from others."

"Since moving to Australia to study medicine, I have realised how well prepared I was through the Biomedical Science course in Sheffield.
"The anatomy classes in particular were amazing, and students had ample chances to practice dissection techniques while learning about the human body. My research experience in Sheffield has also helped tremendously."
