UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
This Master’s degree is relevant for students from a range of backgrounds. Clinical students, and students working as healthcare professionals, mostly return to their clinical path with enhanced skills, which they usually then apply to research or leadership. Some clinicians move into another field or use the MSc as a stepping-stone to building a more research-active clinical career. Those from a science or medical background might take this MSc directly after their undergraduate degree or after a period of research or work experience – and often go on to either PhD research or medical school. Other students progress onto the NHS Scientists’ Training Programme or work as a research assistant, in education or medical writing and communications, the pharmaceutical industry or healthcare innovation and technology. Graduates have gone on to work for the NHS, the Centre for Medical Sciences and Research, The Wistar Institute, and King's College London. * *Graduate Outcomes survey carried out by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), looking at the destinations of UK and EU graduates in 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 cohorts.
