Medical Science Sector

My Future

Currently at Edinburgh University studying medical sciences for four years and then planning to specialise in a healthcare area or apply for medicine

Choosing My Destination

When choosing my destination, I sought advice mainly from family and professionals in my chosen university degree who had graduated from the course

Extra Curricular & Work Experience

Work experience - I took several online work experience courses that were specific to my university course. I've also had several jobs including work at two hairdressers, McDonald’s and M&S. Extracurriculars - I took part in the generation project at LHS, volunteering weekly at a nursery. I volunteered at a gymnastics club at LHS. I did several years of charity work with Cancer Research UK, attending the relay for life every year. 10 years of dancing at local dance companies

Skills I've Developed

Interpersonal skills, communication, empathy, patience, decision making skills, determination and perseverance

My Advice

Don’t feel pressured into deciding your career path in S2 or S3 as it’s really likely it will change but it's useful to begin to think of what you’d like to do so that you give yourself plenty of years to decide and change your mind or stick with your idea. If you’re still undecided by S6 that’s not the end of the world, but make sure to apply to some backup courses in case you change your mind
