Sagarika Dawka was destined for a career in the medical field, as her family is full of doctors. In the Master’s Programme in Genetics and Molecular Biosciences, she has been able to delve deeper into the cellular level of human disease and prepare herself for a career as a scientist conducting cancer research: “The pace of the programme exceeded my expectations. I had thought that you need more experience to be involved in actual research, but was pleasantly surprised by the quick progression to practical work.” The applications are open to our 36 International Master’s Programmes until 5 Jan 2022 (for studies starting in autumn 2022).
