University of Bradford

Alisha is studying MSc Medical Bioscience after completing her Biomedical Science undergraduate degree at Bradford.

“The course has armed me with the tools I need to pursue my dream.”

“When I graduate, I want to move into the legal side of science and focus on the legalities behind getting medicines to market, so I will probably become an IP and patent lawyer in the pharmaceutical industry.

“My Master’s has provided me with the foundations I need to pursue this goal, and I will now go on to gain more work experience in the sector and complete a Graduate Diploma in Law, which is a conversion course.

“One reason I chose my course was because it offers an Innovation In Life Science Industry module, which focuses on the legal and business side of science, and how concepts and innovations are brought to market.

“It provided me with a sound knowledge of this specialist area, and it was taught by industry experts who had worked in the sector I want to go into. It was great to be able to ask them about their experiences."

The tutor who taught the module has contacts in the industry and has been able to get me some work experience. This has given me valuable hands-on experience and really helped to boost my employability.

The support I have received from my teachers has been fantastic, and the interaction between students and academics was amazing. The teachers are all really friendly and helpful, and offer you so much support.

The research project allowed me to learn from people who are already established in their fields, which was hugely valuable.
