Current student Matoula Taloumtzi provides a few words below regarding winning the 2016/17 studentship:
" I feel very honoured that I was granted the Aubrey Sheiham studentship; even more after researching Aubrey Sheiham's extensive contribution to the discipline of Dental Public Health. The studentship was a great help in the first steps of the MSc path, offering a financial boost to alleviate the stress of the expensive London life. It was also a very good opportunity to do a little bit of research and warm up one's writing skills, as we definitely needed these later in our studies. I would strongly advise any future students not to miss this great opportunity. For me, it was a great welcome in what was going to be a great year; full of really good friends, very good and supportive teachers, and tons of interesting pieces of knowledge."
