Placement

I have not applied for companies as my field is research focused. For research opportunities I have costed different universities in the UK such as UCL, kings college, Oxford and Cambridge. I have also looked at different startups and companies doing research such as the Francis crick institute and Sanger institute. There are numerous research opportunities available with paid hours and these opportunities also give students the chance to public papers with academics and present their work at conferences and symposiums.

Internship

I have not interned at any company I have primarily worked in universities.
