Emily, Chemistry with a Year in Industry MSci
Emily spent a year working at Upperton Pharma Solutions as part of her degree. She shares some of her highlights from her work placement year.
I originally started studying at another university, but I moved to the University of Nottingham because I realised I wanted to do a placement. Nottingham was the perfect place for that.
