Not getting the grades you hoped for doesn't have to mean giving up on your career goals 💡

When Esther Blaxhall missed the grades for her first-choice course, she chose a different route into healthcare through Clearing and joined our accelerated BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences degree.

Fast forward four years, and Esther is graduating with both an undergraduate degree and a Master's in Physician Associate Practice. ✨

She credits Medical Sciences with helping her build a strong foundation in healthcare, develop valuable clinical skills and progress confidently into postgraduate study.

Her advice to students considering Clearing?

💬 "Don't be scared of Clearing. Ask questions, be open about what you want to achieve and trust the process."

If you're exploring your options this Results Day, Medical Sciences could be the first step towards a rewarding healthcare career.

Our Eye Clinic is reminding everyone to put eye health first. Looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can cause permanent eye damage, but with the right precautions, you can enjoy this incredible event safely.

Here are three safe ways to watch the eclipse:

👓 Use certified eclipse glasses
📦 Try a simple pinhole projector
📱 Watch a trusted livestream online

However you choose to view it, remember: your eyesight is worth protecting.
