If you ask me my passion in life it's definitely to help people understand how

beautiful science is it's definitely not something nerdy for me or about a

textbook to me it's one of the most beautiful things in the world

understanding how our human bodies work and just the miracle that science is.

[Music] My name is Sophie Cotton and I'm

studying a double degree in Biomedical Science and Law and I've just finished

my second year here at Southern Cross University and it has been a fascinating

whirlwind of two years.

Well ever since I was really young I've had this fascination with the human body

so I always knew I want to do something along the lines of medicine and

biomedical science is a perfect stepping-stone into medicine.

So I grew up in Spain my mum worked over there with women in order to try and prevent

human trafficking and I got to see her work with a few people that were both a

lawyer and a doctor and I got to see first hand how having both of those

degrees really helps them in their work. So fortunately Southern Cross has a

number of really flexible learning options and they're also very personable

so when I had this idea of studying both biomedical science and law I knew that

there'd be lots of people willing to help me pursue that.

As for the classes

at SCU what I love is this fact that they're nice and small and so you get to

know your academics really one-on-one and because I'm studying something that

I'm really passionate about I often have questions so it means that they're

always willing to stay after class and answer my questions talking about what I

love what they love and getting so much more out of the learning experience.
