Student spotlight: Gabsille, Online Clinical Trials MSc
"My fondest memory of my time at UCL was being able to complete my Masters completely online and the experience of serving as a course representative. Despite the physical distance, being able to connect with fellow students, advocate for our needs and facilitate communication between peers and faculty was incredibly fulfilling. It enriched my learning journey but also fostered a sense of community and collaboration in the virtual classroom environment."
