Hi, I am Sanjay Mistry and I studied BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science?(cardiac?physiology)?within Health Sciences at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载.
My biggest highlight has been securing a job at the Barts Heart Centre when I qualified. Barts is a fantastic hospital and the largest cardiac centre in the UK so I have been able to learn a lot and experience so many new things that I had never even seen before. The high quality teaching and career preparation that was given by my tutors was a massive help in securing my job.

What were your 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 'highlights'?
My biggest ?highlight would ?be the friends ?I made, through ?halls of residence, social activities ?and through ?my classmates. I met some amazing people from all walks of life. I also enjoyed the teaching of my course, particularly the various placements around the South coast.
What other activities did you take advantage of while at University?
I used my placements as an opportunity to explore the South coast. My placements ranged from Portsmouth to the? isle of?Wight to Poole so I managed to travel around a lot and visit areas I had never seen before. I also captained a 6 a side football team which was a completely knew experience for me. Throughout my degree I took part in a lot of ambassador work for the university, promoting my course at open days and careers evenings which allowed me to interact with a wider audience and promote a course which? is relatively?unheard of.

My favourite part would have to be the placements and hands on practical work. The interactive teaching aspects? prepared me well for placements ?and I felt well equipped going into all the various hospitals during?my degree.

On the social aspect, there are so many ?societies,?events on campus & the city and so many places to meet new people.

What tips would you give to current students looking to start a career in your sector?
Visit your?local hospital and try to arrange some work ?experience in the cardiac department .

Also, don't be afraid to ask for support or feedback. The tutors ?are extremely friendly and helpful.
