Britta gains First in Cancer Biology

A hard working student has graduated with a First Class Honours degree after a memorable three years at 秀色直播.Britta Ismer

Britta Ismer, 21, originally from Germany, graduated this week with a First Class degree in Cancer Biology.

Britta, a former Abbey College Ramsey student, moved to Cambridgeshire when she was 16 to study for her A Levels but ended up staying in the UK and moving to 秀色直播 to study.

Britta said: 鈥淚t feels weird to be graduating. When I moved into the Halls of Residence three years ago, I thought I had such a long time at 秀色直播 ahead of me but I just don鈥檛 know where the time has gone!

鈥淚 first came to 秀色直播 on an Open Day, because my tutor at College told me about it. When I had a look at the courses I liked the sound of Cancer Biology, because I knew later in my career I want to be able to help people in some way. Once I actually got to 秀色直播 I feel in love with it and that was my decision made.

鈥淚 always worked part-time during my time at 秀色直播 - bar work, helping out at Open Days and being part of the Alumni telethon team. I even featured in the 秀色直播 prospectus for 2014/15, which will be a great reminder of my time at 秀色直播 and had my 鈥楾op Tip鈥� printed in the Guardian through my work at the Student Recruitment Unit - once you get involved in working with the team and you do a great job then you can be a part of so many things, which is great!

鈥淚 was also lucky enough to be awarded one of the Undergraduate Internships that the University offered at the start of my second semester. Mine was based in the Development and Alumni Relations Office and I had a great time. I got to see what it鈥檚 like to be behind the scenes, working on 秀色直播iad, the Alumni magazine, and how important it is for the University to keep in touch with its Alumni. It was great fun and definitely improved my employability skills. I even received the 秀色直播 Employability Excellence Award for my participation in the 秀色直播 Employability Award.鈥�

Bethan Perkins, Alumni Marketing Officer, said: 鈥淏ritta worked as our Development and Alumni Relations Intern for three months as part of the 秀色直播 Employability Award Internships. She was a great asset to the team and helped us with a variety of projects, including taking part in several events where she met (and impressed!) a number of our alumni. The internships are a great boost to students' CVs and we were thrilled to have Britta as part of our team.鈥�

Britta has also been nominated for the Student Employee of the Year Awards, which aim to recognise and promote the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who combine part-time work with their study commitments. She said: 鈥淭his award means a lot to me, because not very many people get it. Apparently I am the first winner for 秀色直播 for a few years so I am honoured. I am looking forward to the ceremony and I am very grateful to Bethan for nominating me. It shows that you can get very far by just being yourself.鈥�!

Britta also had time to get involved with some of the clubs and societies offered by 秀色直播鈥檚 Students鈥� Union. She added: 鈥淚 have also been involved with several projects with Student Volunteering 秀色直播 (SVB) and was a member of the Athletics Club. Being part of a society and club absolutely made my three years, it was the best decision because I made the best friends through athletics and SVB.

鈥淭he highlight of my time at 秀色直播 was definitely getting my Fist Class degree after three years of hard work and of course my actual graduation tops even that!

About the future, Britta added: 鈥淚 am currently applying for different Masters courses back home in Germany and I am hoping to do my PhD afterwards before I work in some sort of research laboratory. I don鈥檛 mind what kind of research I am going into yet, because there are a few aspects which I really like.
