The Applied Medical Sciences course trains students to speak the language of medicine but think like scientists. The exposure to some of the best science in the world allows students to become extremely versatile.
The best thing about UCL is that you are surrounded by some extremely clever people in all different fields. The environment is diverse in its thinking but people are also very down to earth and fun.

I really enjoyed an environment that allows us to pursue our own interests and dive into a variety of career pathways, from business to psychology to clinical pathways.
By working with world leading researchers, we gain invaluable skills and connections while contributing to science and our own communities. The perfect steppingstone for a long and impactful career.
Adriana Salame
BSc Nutrition and Medical Sciences
Every aspect of the course exceeded my expectations. Our professors and guest specialists delivered engaging content-rich lectures, covering body systems in health and disease, then the role of nutrition in modulating health across life.
We always enjoyed the practical activities that complemented our learning, and were assessed on real-life cases, both of which have developed our professional skills.

BSc Applied Medical Sciences
This course bridges the gap perfectly between science and medicine. The best part about studying at UCL is being around professionals at the forefront of research and having the chance to learn directly from them.
I truly appreciate the thought that goes into developing coursework that challenges our understanding and creativity while helping us solidify concepts taught in lectures and tutorials.
This is a unique and exciting cross-faculty degree that bridges two interesting fields. Graduates have the unique position of being equipped with the knowledge to apply engineering solutions to medical problems.
UCL is a great place to study with academics conducting a range of incredibly inspiring research.

MSc Pain Management
I chose the course based on UCL's reputation and its links with UCLH Pain Management Centre. Knowing that the university and hospital have a good reputation with regards to teaching and research were important to my decision.
As the course is online distance learning, the flexibility that comes with this is great. The online lectures and chapters are well designed and are easy to navigate through with really interesting reading and content.

Lydia Mardell
MSc Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies
The REAT MSc provided me with the opportunity to submerge myself in a multi-disciplinary research and health care setting, using practical methods to study the topic. Lectures and seminars were led by experts from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds, including clinicians, academics and patients living with the studied condition, which was a great privilege.
The programme provided me with a strong foundation in conducting research in this field which eased the transition to my PhD studies.
