Student Profiles

Alice McKain

I decided to study at St George’s because it was a specialist Medical University, and an excellent research facility. I thought it had a great reputation, and I would have access to world leading experts in their field. I thoroughly enjoyed all of my modules, and the flexibility in the modules that I could choose. St George’s has been instrumental in developing my career. It has improved my confidence in my ability, and given me skills and tools that I can use for the rest of my career. I also met inspiring researchers, academics, and professionals, which I would never of had the opportunity to meet in my normal professional life. This year I have worked in Ukraine with an NGO developing secondary healthcare provisions, and strengthening healthcare systems. I am now currently employed at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, in HIV research. Focusing on curative research for HIV.

I decided to do my intercalation at St George’s, especially for the MSc in Global Health, because of the specialist pathways available. I didn’t see many other courses providing that flexibility. I love this course so much. The discussions in modules and the support from the academics has made this year such an incredible experience. I completely recommend it!
