I am sorry to have posted so many consecutive questions, so I have laid it all out here.
I was accepted in several schools to study masters and the following were my top choices:
KCL: MSc Biomedical and Molecular Sciences Research
Imperial College: MSc Reproductive and Developmental Biology
Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry (QMUL): MSc Molecular Pathology and Genomics
Brunel: MSc Molecular Medicine
I am trying to get connected with postgrads who have either taken anyof these courses or are about to. I have already given a deposit forKCL because I think that the program can give me a lot of transferableskills and can help me to actually figure out exactly what I want tofurther specialize in. I have been thinking that I could probably doclinical embryology or something else with assisted conception andreproduction, as I have always been interested in that. It looks likethe course at KCL can help me expand my lab skills, and possiblyconnect me good employers. Also, for those who might be interested, Ihave to say that so far I have been very positively impressed with KCL.Everyone that I have spoken to has been great, even the professors fromthe program take the time to talk to you. I don't know why I am stilldebating my choice?! I recently ran into a program at UCL MScReproductive Sciences and Women's Health, which sounds very interestingto me. But what if I go into it and don't like it? then I wouldn't havetoo many choices after I graduate. Ahh...
Moving along with my other options. I was very disappointed withImperial, because of many things: they insist that I have to pay 25,300GBP for their program (rather than 3,300 or something close to that)because they refuse to accept me as a home student, despite the factthat I am an EU national. Everyone is hard to get in touch with. Iappealed their decision and it took them over 6 weeks to come up withan answer (this was the beginning of the year, so I don't think theywere that busy, and I was calling them every week). They actually sentme a bill and asked me for a deposit about 2 months before I evenreceived an e-mail that I have been accepted....not very professional.
I don't really seem to find a lot about the barts course. I actuallytried to visit it and I called several different numbers and therewasn't even one person who could tell me where I should go to check outthe facilities, as obviously they are not in the QMUL buildings. Itdoes seem like an interesting course, even though it seems to be morespecific than KCL.
Brunel seems like a good school may be for engineering and computers,but I am not sure it would be so right for the course I would bestudying there, so it has been more of a back-up.
This turned out to be a long blog but I am trying to just give as fullunderstanding to my situation as possible, so that I can hear youropinions. Does anybody know anything about any of these courses?
Greatly appreciated!
:$ Sorry, did not mean to offend anybody by that... I had posted them all as one long thread on another forum, and so far I haven't received a response. Different people have different interests, so I was hoping that if any of the particular questions that I have posted seemed appealing to anybody, I have a better chance of getting a feedback at least on one of them. That's all :-)
I would like to find you if anyone has taken the MSc Reproductive andDevelopmental Biology at Imperial? What are your thoughts on the courseand the school? Is it sufficient to prepare you for a career as aclinical embryologist and will you require further training aftergraduation? Any input will be appreciated!
Has anyone taken the MSc Molecular Pathology and Genomics at Barts andthe London School of Medicine and Dentistry? I am curious to know whatstudents think of it and the school!
Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone has taken the MSc Molecular Medicine atBrunel. If so, how did you find the course and the school? Any thoughtswill be appreciated!
Thanks!
I was curious if anyone has taken or knows anything about the MScReproductive Science and Women's Health at UCL. I will be doing a MScBiomedical and Molecular Sciences Research at KCL, which I hope to giveme a good background knowledge and lab skills that I can use to furtherspecialization. I am thinking that I could try for a clinicalembryologist (IVF, assisted conception), as I have always beeninterested in that. Any input about the course will be appreciated!
I am curious if anybody has taken or knows somebody who has taken theMSc Clinical Embryology at Oxford. I know that it is a fairly newcourse but would love to get some insight on it, as I have always beeninterested in the field.
Thanks!
