After Bellerbys, I went to Cambridge University
and I did Natural Cciences where I specialised
in Pathology eventually in my third year.
After that, I moved on to Oxford University
to do a PhD in Pathology, and I’ve just
recently finished my PhD.
So this building didn’t exist, so the last
time around we were in Hove, one of those,
you know, Victorian houses that is really
cosy and really nice. But I think this building
is so much better. I mean, it’s purpose
built at least, and I’ve had a look around.
The labs are really good, and the classrooms
are actually very nice, very modern. I wish
I studied here.
I think it’s always really difficult to
come to a foreign country, you know especially
from a very young age. What is great about
Bellerbys is it’s very, very diverse, so
you’re almost certainly going to find people
from your own country. And at the same time,
the teachers are really, really, helpful and
they really do take care of you both in terms
of welfare, and obviously from an academics
point of view as well.
I think what’s important is Bellerbys sets
the stage. It is the place where everything,
everything starts and everything happens,
you know, for me. So I regard this place,
it’s a place I hold very dearly, close to
my heart as well.
