You will have experience of working independently and as a member of a team, with the opportunity also to be a team leader.

You will have gained time-management and organisational skills from completing your independent project, and will be able to integrate large quantities of data from a wide range of sources and at a variety of scales to solve real-world problems.A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work.
