Do you need to do a full BMedSci Honours year—or can you get meaningful research experience during other years?

Seiyon, last year’s BMedSci rep and organiser of MRSS and weekly journal clubs, shares his journey from structured coursework to independent research. We dive into his cardiology-related project, the “aha” moments, unexpected challenges, and what makes a research community thrive.

Thinking about doing Honours—or just curious if research is necessary? Seiyon covers it all: how to find the right project and supervisor, managing stress, staying motivated, and whether the Honours path is for you.
