After completing my undergraduate studies in engineering, I wanted to utilize my mathematical knowledge in the field of health sciences, and thus chose a master's programme in biostatistics. My background has proven beneficial, even though I don't have a foundation in natural or health sciences. The programme has been very successful with the guidance of excellent teachers, and I have been given a lot of flexibility to tailor the studies to my interests

Biostatistics appealed to me primarily because of its interdisciplinary approach, which allowed me to tailor it well to my interests and strengths. Throughout the programme, I developed comprehensive skills in various aspects of statistical analysis and research work in general. Students and instructors come from all possible backgrounds, exposing you to diverse ideas and providing valuable insights into different fields of study.
