I decided to study this Masters programme because I wanted to develop my knowledge in a field that my undergraduate degree had touched upon. This programme is therefore allowing me to explore my interests in greater detail before commencing further research through a PhD. Completing a Masters programme at such a prestigious institution is also very beneficial when applying to jobs and allows me to be a more competitive applicant in the future.

The course usually has a relatively small cohort. This creates an intimate learning environment in which the staff are keen to get to know and to support each student. The course also offers a unique learning experience as the lecturers are at the top of their fields and many are involved in world-leading research.

The medical school has many postgraduate courses on offer, so familiarise yourself with them all to find out which course best suits your interests. I would also recommend talking to the admissions staff and programme directors before commencing your studies, as they have been very helpful in my experience.
