I am currently in year 12 and I am hoping to apply for Biochemistry later this year. I'm studying Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Computer Science and have target grades of AAAb and all the universities I wish to apply for are the London Colleges (Imperial, UCL, Kings, Queen Mary).
The work experience I currently have is 1. Two weeks working at a local Lloyds Pharmacy last summer & 2. A week working in my local hospital's Neurology ward.
Would there be any Biotechnology, Biological companies which could possibly offer me some work experience this summer?
At school, in our Senior Biology Society I have done a Biochemistry project involving using a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism to predict
bitter tasting ability however I understand it is very unlikely a company would allow me to carry out any work/research.
Even doing admin work or paperwork would suffice as I feel as if being in contact with a Biotechnology company and having a feel for the field would very much enhance my application later this year.
Thanks
