After completing the MSc programme I pursued a PhD in Biochemistry and am now a Research Associate in the School of Life Sciences, with particular research interest in the molecular and structural virology of the influenza virus. Looking back, the MSc programme has indeed laid a solid foundation for my PhD study and also my current research work. The programme equipped me with advanced knowledge in the broad discipline of biochemical and biomedical sciences. Lecturers were experts in their respective research areas and provided tremendous support. Students were from various professional backgrounds such as education, medical laboratory, food laboratory, public health administration, Chinese Medicine, etc. and we still maintain close connections after graduation. I would surely recommend the programme to those who aspire to scholarly advances in this field.
