      Hi Caitlin,

      Thanks for your question. Yes, I really really enjoyed all of my time at university. I have done a BSc, MSc and a PhD. The BSc was really fun and I learned so much. It allowed me to explore lots of different subjects around microbiology and cell biology and genetics, so I could decide what I wanted to do. Then I got lots of different jobs to help me more. My PhD was hard but it really is often the only time in a researcher’s career that they are free to do what they want and direct their own research without too many constraints! I would fully recommend it!
