Sara began studying Medicine at another university but soon realised it wasn’t the right fit for her and that she needed to be closer to home. She applied to �������� through Clearing and joined the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science course, where she found both the academic and technical staff welcoming and supportive from the start.

Since then, she’s gained hands-on lab experience, completed a Wellcome Trust placement, and received strong academic support. Sara has grown in confidence and found her passion for research.

Rebecca decided to change careers and applied to �������� through Clearing. She left her office job and joined the BSc (Hons) Prosthetics and Orthotics course. Three years later, she is working as a Graduate Prosthetist with the organisation she completed her placement with. 

“I had been looking for something more meaningful. The course had strong job prospects, hands-on learning, and two long placements. It seemed like the right fit,” she says. 

Although it was her first time applying to university, Rebecca found the Clearing process straightforward. “I was excited about the opportunity, and the admissions lead was so helpful and kind. I was kept well informed and felt really supported throughout.” 

Her final placement was a turning point. “I was working in London, supporting rehabilitation for patients recovering from brain injuries and strokes. Each day brought a different team and new challenges. It helped me develop as a clinician and showed me how rewarding this work can be.”

Looking back, Rebecca feels confident in the path she chose. “�������� gave me the tools I needed to build a new career and the confidence to succeed.”
