Some uni's have lab coats you can borrow but they are horrible you are best getting your own. Your union shop may sell them if not see if you have an Alexanders somewhere near by they are a uniform shop but they sell lab coats too

heya im doing biomedical science at UH :smile:

i already have a labcoat from my a levels but i know that there will be one day during freshers week when we can purchase them. I need to have two lab coats, one for general lab work and the other is for microbiology. The microbiology one will be supplied by the uni but it might be worth finding out if you need two coats too.

haven't you got one from school?
The uni may sell second hand ones - ours had a few, but they didn't look so nice and I had my own anyway. Only about £15 from a school outfitters.

you could also try ebay, you will probably get one from there. I bought mine from college and it cost about £15

yes i am really looking forward to biomed, although im really nervous at the same time about disection. Iv not had much chance to do it at college etc so im worried i will come other all squeamish the first few times! Iv got my vapour rub at the ready though :biggrin:

i would recommend trying it, put a bit on your nose when you do disection or experiments with yeast (baby sick smell! yuck) and it makes things so much easier, the smell is the worst part!

hey!

i guess you're doing Industrial Design at Brunel then. I'm doing the same course but at Loughborough! I suppose a dust coat is the same as a lab coat as that was what we are expected to wear in the workshops, or overalls (yuk!) i think the main thing is to have a high cotton content in the lab coat. Your uni should sell a load of the stuff you'll need for your course, or suggest wear you can buy them from. It's a bit complicated when the uni isn't campus. If not, try shops that sell work clothing or DIY stores (not sure about them). If not, try the internet, theres loads of places that sell these sort of things.

Anyway, good luck on your course. Hope you enjoy it.

Yep- well its product design- but from what i gathered from the open days its pretty much the same as the industrial design course at loughbrough!- goo luck with it its a nice uni...
your a girl right??- do you think there will be many girls on this type of course because at both the brunel and loughbrough interview days i didnt see many girls...? it doesnt bother me hugely i was just wondering...

My mate is at Brunel on the Product Design course, or whatever it's called... The majority of the students on the course are guys, if she's telling me the truth!

hey nice to hear from you,

I've been told that it is a male dominated course, but at the interview i did see more girls than expected at lboro hmmm and i remember one particular girl who bought in a massive frame/board maybe a painting to show as part of her portfolio i believe. but still loads of boys! one thing i'm not too keen on is if the classes are big, since i've been so used to teeny weeny class sizes at a-level - nice and quiet, and a doss at the same time!

anyway good luck with your studies.

i think i will atcually prefer to be in a mostly male course as in general i find them much more easir to get along with- laid back etc. my only worry is that since im living at home i may not get to know many girls... oh well i will have to see how it goes!! quite excited now!! woo hoo
good luck to you all

just wondering, does anyone know if you'd need to buy a lab coat for doing geography? cos we have lab practicals for physical geog but i don't know if there'll be enough of it to warrant buying my own one or whether i should just borrow one from the department?!
