Liam Leyden, Master of Biomedical Science
"The Master of Biomedical Science has been a great route into research... Building skills in areas like statistics and imaging analysis has been invaluable. I also found the science communication subjects particularly useful especially for getting the most out of conferences; you can do the most brilliant research, but you also have to be able to explain it."
