George Lishman

What did you enjoy most about your degree programme?

The flexibility of the course enabled me to choose modules in a variety of disciplines. I also thoroughly enjoyed the practical element of the course by gaining lots of experience in the labs which is a huge asset for employability.

Some of the students we are profiling have been awarded a departmental prize or award in recognition of their exceptional achievements. If this applies to you, please can you tell us about this and what it means to you?

Dean’s Commendations in 1st & 2nd year. Excellent to received recognition for hard work and good attainment.

Please tell us if you were a member of any societies, groups or sports clubs?

Devon URNU (Royal Navy) & University of Exeter Lacrosse Club.

What was the highlight of your time at Exeter?

Meeting so many new people through my halls, course and societies. 

What will you miss the most about University?

The community aspect of life on campus.

What advice would you give to current and future students? (If you are an international student what would you like to tell future students from back home who might be thinking about applying to study in Exeter?)

 Say ‘yes’ more than you say ‘no’. Be open minded and give as many different things a go as possible!

What are your plans now that you have graduated?

I am starting a Graduate Entry Medicine course at the University of Southampton in September 2023.
