Hi Cynthia. For the second question, answering it is a bit tricky for me since the question asked ‘what is your understanding of the role of a HC Scientist in your chosen specialty?’ How can one answer that and still make it known that I have those skills without seeming to deviate from answering the question as it is? Because the question did not say ‘can you play the role?’ It asked, what the role is. Can you please explain if you can?

Hey. Thanks this is super helpful! When filling out the application form i noticed they have not yet asked to select a chosen specialty it generally says 'healthcare science' So should we still refer to the specialty we would like to choose in these answers? Thank you in advance!

Hi Cynthia, I'm interested in exploring the role of a Clinical Biochemist. Could you provide insight into the typical work environment and responsibilities of a Clinical Biochemist? Specifically, do they primarily engage in laboratory bench work, office-based tasks, or a combination of both?

Hi Cynthia, thankyou for this informative video! I want to apply for cancer genomics aswell, but the academic aspect is delivered at the University of Manchester, and I'm not fully certain I can relocate. How much time is spent physically at Uni? is it mandatory to move to the university city?

Thank you Cynthia, this is very helpful.

Do you think it is essential to mention an international PhD while applying for the STP? Does it better the chances or otherwise? I look forward to your kind response.

Thank you
