Claire, 2nd year
'Throughout my whole life my head has buzzed with questions; questions about humans, plants, the oceans and the microscopic world invisible to the naked eye. Oxford offers me the answers to these questions. It’s incredible!
There’s loads of practical work, from a brilliant week-long field-trip to Wales in your first year, to tropical Borneo in your second. Lab work is a great chance to test the theories you’ve learnt in lectures and the supervisors are always happy to offer help and explanation. In your third year you get to carry out a project,
investigating whatever you choose, the only criteria being that
you’re fascinated by what you’re investigating.'
