My degree has helped me greatly in acquiring new knowledge and skills, and in obtaining more job opportunities.
The books, the research, the library and the professors have all been so useful in shaping me as the professional I am today.
Going for gold
We couldn't be prouder of the Olympians and Paralympians that make up our student community. The delayed Tokyo 2020 Games featured a number of Bristol graduates, including some from our postgraduate community:
- Angus Groom, who studied for a master's in Stem Cells and Regeneration, took silver in the Olympic quadruple sculls.
- Dan Bethell shone bright in Tokyo, becoming the first ever British badminton player to win a Paralympics medal with a silver at this year's games. Dan studied his LLB and LLM at Bristol.
