What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you?
My programme lets me study more than one specialisation and create my own master’s plan to match my interests and career goals. The teachers are very helpful and always ready to answer questions, which makes learning easier.
However, one of the biggest challenges is the structure of the courses. Each course lasts only four weeks, and group assignments are a mandatory part of the curriculum. This intensive pace can make the initial weeks a bit overwhelming.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
People are very straightforward and responsible in group works. They are also open to discussions to improve the quality of group projects.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
The most challenging thing is that you have very little time to make friends with your classmates because each class only lasts four weeks. This means you are constantly changing classmates, making it hard to build strong connections. Just as you start to get to know people, the class ends, and you move on to a new group. It can feel a bit lonely at times, but it also gives you the chance to meet a lot of different people.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
My internship is about association between antacid use during pregnancy with respiratory morbidity and reflux in infants.
Why do you think it is important that there are people with this degree? What are your plans once you have received your Master's degree?
Research in Biomedical Sciences is valuable not only for advancing academic knowledge but also for shaping policies, engaging with the public, and driving innovations in various fields. As graduates of this program, we can contribute to diverse areas such as research, consultancy, communication, and beyond, making a real difference in science and society.
After completing my Master’s degree, I plan to pursue a job in medical research to gain practical experience and deepen my understanding of the field. This hands-on exposure will help me build a strong foundation for the next step in my journey, which is applying for PhD training.
