Year 13 Student Millie Shines in Nuffield Research Placement
Millie, one of our outstanding Year 13 students, recently spent two weeks at the University of Plymouth, contributing to an exciting science project as part of the prestigious Nuffield Research Placement program. The program offers Year 12 students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in real-world scientific research.
During her placement, Millie collaborated with Dr. Subhan in the Health Faculty, assisting with data processing for a project titled "Investigating the acute effect of transcutaneous vagal stimulation on physiological parameters in healthy subjects." Alongside students from across the city, Millie also developed a poster to present their findings. Her dedication and hard work earned her a Gold CREST Award!
This experience was life-changing for Millie, inspiring her to reconsider her degree plans. She now hopes to study Biomedical Science, a path she hadn’t considered before the placement.
We are incredibly proud of Millie for embracing this opportunity and making the most of it. Well done, Millie!
