• One of our tutors discusses their subject
• I am currently majoring in Cardiovascular,
  Respiratory and Renal Physiology and minoring in
  Neuroscience, so have a strong grasp of a broad
  range of biological topics. I have previously
  studied aspects of Psychology, developmental
  biology and Cellular Physiology. For my
  dissertation I worked in a lab in Oxford on bone
  marrow adipocytes and the differentiation of stem
  cells, and will be starting a DPhil on dietary
  constituents and their effect on bone health.
• A typical 3rd year day consists of a lecture or 2
  in the morning, lunch in the college bar, working
  in the college library in the afternoon. In the
  evening Ill go home and cook dinner and finish
  up work before reading and going to bed.

• How did you find your Oxford application?
• My application experience was relatively easy. I
  was actually only in Oxford for 1 day of
  interviews (compared to some people who were
  there for 5 days), so I had 3 interviews on the
  same day which was quite intense. Once Id
  received my offer, I was really considering
  turning it down and accepting an offer from
  Bristol as I didnt think Oxford was for me, but
  now so glad that I didnt as I love Oxford and
  Ive found I really appreciate being pushed
  intellectually and working hard.
• I only discovered Biomed as a course while
  looking through course description on university
  websites. It appealed to me as I enjoyed human
  biology in school but didnt want to be a Medic.
