Advice from Molly

“I'd say immerse yourself in your subject. When things are hard, when you're studying a lot, when it's towards the end of the year and perhaps you don't have the energy you had at the beginning of the year, take time out. Go into Birmingham, have a look at all the engineering stuff that's going on, book a visit somewhere, send an email to somebody. Don't let the stresses take away from the amazing degree you're studying and the amazing things you're going to do with it when you come out.”
