Darina Lisichkina

Clinical Biochemistry and Endocrinology 3

  • "My experience at the University of Edinburgh has been incredibly rewarding. From the engaging Biomedical Sciences degree programme, to opportunities outside of academia - the university has offered me endless opportunities to grow and express myself."

Alix Aylward

Health, Illness and Society 3

  • "The BMTO at Edinburgh has supported me to pursue many interests, enabling me to flourish and ultimately shaping me as an interdisciplinary scientist."

Sofiya Star

Health, Illness and Society 3

  • "The interactive format of the Health, Illness and Society course greatly aided my learning; the formulation of some split-second thought into words after being
  • prompted during a lecture really helped me consolidate the new knowledge. Yet, it also led me to think and analyse the content of the lectures in more depth, reaching conclusions that I would otherwise have never considered. "

Lucia Christa Adam

Mechanisms of Brain Development 3

  • "As a neuroscience student, I have really come to cherish the influence of brain development on our very being.
  • I enjoyed MBD3 for opening our eyes to so many fascinating pathways and mechanisms that cause the brain to develop abnormally, and I would love to work in this field in the future."

Tamara Tubbeh

Pharmacology 3

  • "I would like to thank the Course Organizer and lecturers for making the content of this course very engaging and for nurturing my passion for Pharmacology. It has definitely been one of my favorite courses in the BMTO so far. "

Maialen Martin Abad

Physiology 3

  • Studying at the University of Edinburgh is being an incredibly rewarding experience and opportunity, thanks to the support and excellent organisation provided
  • by staff. I enjoyed studying Physiology 3 as it was a very interesting and diverse course which allowed me to have a deeper understanding of how different systems in our body work."

 

Sofiya Star

Physiology 3

  • "Physiology 3 has really pushed me to consider the intricacies and challenges of studying physiology using different experimental methods.
  • The course made reading and analysing research papers something much more habitual for me and the in-course essay taught me how to sort through overwhelming amounts of research critically, extrapolating the key findings and ideas."
