Lucia is studying MSc Pharmaceutical Engineering and was awarded the International Postgraduate Taught Merit Scholarship.

Opting for the MSc in Pharmaceutical Engineering is a strategic move to enhance my expertise as a chemical engineer aspiring to venture into the pharmaceutical industry. ΢ÃÜȦ stood out as the institution with the most comprehensive module selection, coupled with an impressive pilot plant equipped with cutting-edge facilities and strong affiliations with prestigious companies.

I am enjoying the University's facilities and the diverse range of activities organised by the Students' Union. Participating in "Give It a Go" trips, exploring the enchanting Peak District, and joining the Volleyball team have all contributed to a fulfilling experience. The University's offerings extend far beyond academics, making this an amazing experience far beyond my studies.

Being bestowed with the scholarship imparts a sense of validation, fostering confidence in my ability to excel in ΢ÃÜȦ. The scholarship has not only enriched my overall experience in ΢ÃÜȦ but has also provided a sense of security, enabling me to approach my studies with greater dedication and efficiency.

I aspire to assume leadership roles in the pharmaceutical or food and beverage industries. In the near future, I hope to work in Europe, continuing my journey of exploration and embracing life to its fullest extent.
