A Student of Biomedical Science

Subjects I Studied at GCSE & A-Level I'm often asked on my Instagram ( @astudentofbms ) what subjects I studied at GCSEs and A-Level, because people like to know what opportunities they can have after completing GCSEs and A-Levels.  I didn't know what I wanted to do as a career, so I tried to pick GCSEs and A-Levels that gave me a wide range of options later on.  I did my GCSEs in 2018, and then my A-Levels in 2020. I didn't actually manage to finish my A-Levels, because of COVID, and I wasn't able to sit my exams, so I was a bit worried what results I was going to get. All that doesn't matter now though, because I got accepted onto my degree, and now GCSEs and A-Levels are a thing of the past. 📖 GCSEs As with most schools, I had to study: 📚 English Language + Literature Maths + Maths Numeracy Sciences - Biology, Physics + Chemistry And then, because I'm in Wales, I studied: 📚 Welsh Language + Literature Welsh Baccalaureate For my optional GCSEs, I was ab...

 How I Study As A Biomedical Science Student The one thing I was quite apprehensive about before starting my course were the type of assessments I'd get and if I'd be able to study for them properly. I had completed my GCSEs and done well in those and had completed my AS levels and done fairly well in them too - but I'd never got the chance to do A Level exams. I had been studying consistently throughout the year in preparation for the exams, but they never happened, so I was nervous because I wasn't sure how effective my studying methods were. When the time did come for me to have my exams, I wasn't actually that worried - because they were all open-book due to COVID! This meant that I had to do the exams from my laptop at home and was allowed to look at my notes whilst completing the exam. I feel that this was a blessing but also a curse, because on the one hand it meant that I'd probably get good results because I had the answers right there in front of me, b...

Writing Your Personal Statement If you're at the end of Year 12 or just starting Year 13, you've probably heard something about personal statements. If you're in the stage of writing it and have no idea where to start - keep reading! If you don't even know what they are - keep reading! In this post I will discuss what personal statements are, why you need to write them and some tips to help you do so.  I am not a teacher and I don't work for university admissions or UCAS - so I'm not able to tell you exactly WHAT or HOW to write it, I'm just going to be giving some advice about what I wrote. What is a personal statement? A personal statement is something you have to write if you want to apply for university. Although they can be written for apprenticeships and jobs, they're most commonly done when applying for a university course. It's basically an opportunity for you to tell the university who you are, why you want to study the subject you've ch...
