The chance to study a subject in which she had a deep interest was incredibly exciting, and she threw herself into her studies. She found a vibrant and engaging environment which allowed her to flourish both personally and academically.

“Firstly, what I enjoyed most about UCBB was the facilities they had to offer,” Lucy says. “As someone who loves to learn in a more practical way, I found it stimulating to be able to apply the knowledge I learnt in lectures to the animals on the unit. And not only are the facilities amazing but the lecturers had such a depth of knowledge in their field; I felt lucky to have learnt from such experienced tutors.

Secondly, the UCBB community is exceptional in its support for young adults to develop independently while respecting their need for personal growth. This community has a unique understanding of the importance of cultivating individuality.”

Lucy's Success Story:

After graduating with an impressive 2:1 Bachelor of Science, Lucy found herself with numerous career options to explore.

With a solid bank of knowledge and experience behind her, she decided to embark on an unexpected but exciting journey into the agri-food industry. Lucy is now part of the General Graduate Scheme at Cranswick Country Foods, one of the leading food producers in the UK.

Lucy explains her decision:

“It was apparent to me the number of options that was available to myself after studying a degree that covered multiple areas in one. I could take a more scientific route, looking at animal science, an agricultural route, into agri-sciences or one more surprising to myself a route into the agri-food industry which I feel combines the above options into one exciting route very well.

As a part of Cranswick's graduate scheme, I am developing my skills and competencies to become a future leader in the food industry. The scheme is tailored for individuals who have a passion for the industry and aims to accelerate our career progression within the company. It's a great opportunity to gain real-world experience while learning from some of the best professionals in the field.
