I graduated from university this summer with an undergraduate master’s degree in biochemistry. Although I had thoroughly enjoyed carrying out two different laboratory-based research projects during my time at university, I decided I wanted to see where my degree could take me without the need to wear a white coat and goggles.
I was a project leader at Prepress Projects when I was studying for the certificate, and following the successful completion and integration of the skills learned into my everyday practice, I was later promoted to the position of programmes manager.
