Meet Katy!👋 “What stands out most about this course is that we’re not your average set of university students,” says Level 5 BSc (Hons) Medical Biology student, Katy Higginson. “We’re all from different backgrounds; some are mature students, some have children.” Katy is a mum of three who previously worked as a marketing consultant. She was inspired to change career paths during lockdown after seeing the impact the NHS had on getting the nation through such a difficult time. The IoT course at Burnley College had everything she was looking for. “It’s an opportunity to do something that I’ve wanted to do,” Katy says. “It’s an opportunity to do it at a local level, as well.” Lancashire and Cumbria Institute of Technology Learn more: https://buff.ly/44RuTg1
