I'm still in touch with the people I met there. This sort of project isn't available at any other university but it was the highlight of my degree. I was happy that the University of Reading gave me control over the modules I studied, and the experiences I had.
My options were broad, from immunology to medical genetics to virology. Edd decided to stay at Reading to study his master's in Molecular Medicine. He wanted to study the evolution of cancer, a brand new field that tied in well to his interest of evolution.
There is a culture of research here that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. If you come here, you'll get to do exciting things, not just get a degree.

But this led to what I am doing now, it wasn't a conscious decision, but I'm very happy with the route I've taken. Sometimes it's just best to be open to opportunities! Edd chose his new job because he enjoys being hands-on and seeing his work have a positive effect on people.
Knowing I'm helping people and that my work has a direct impact on people's lives is a huge highlight for me! Edd reflects on his time as a student at Reading and commends the MSc Molecular Medicine course for providing a research-led teaching experience and the opportunity to acquire highly sought-after skills, including scientific writing, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate findings and complex information verbally and in writing.
This meant that, upon graduation, Edd was in a strong position to enter the dynamic field of medical communications. My keen understanding of how different techniques work and how the research landscape could change have helped me with my current role. Understanding what researchers do daily, both in and out of the lab, has also helped me develop great relationships with the researchers that we fund. The flexible nature of the course meant that Edd had a practical and theoretical understanding of a variety of topics ranging from human diseases and regenerative medicine to synthetic biology and research techniques.
Working so closely with researchers at Reading helped. I felt like a colleague rather than a student. Tasks such as the day-to-day running of a lab, working with PhD students and understanding how funding works have helped a huge amount.
Edd took advantage of all the opportunities available to him during his time at Reading, including utilising the careers support. But my master's was a great time too. It was tough work, but I made friends for life on that course.
