"The University of Leeds has a lot of focus on research and produces quality research papers. This is a great opportunity as I am incredibly passionate about research in my field of study".
"Leeds puts a strong emphasis on applying learnings from the theoretical lectures and tutorials to the practical modules. The school also encourages students to take responsibility as they progress through the years, planning and designing their own experiments rather than just following recipes".
Namrah graduated with a 1st class honours in Chemistry MChem, BSc, and is currently pursuing a postgraduate research degree for a PhD in 'spin-dates in base metal catalysis'. After completing her PhD, she would like to go into teaching within the higher education sector. She added, "As a British-Pakistani Muslim girl, I want to be a role model to incoming undergraduates who may resonate with me. I want to be the role model I never had."
