What inspired you to study this subject?

I studied Biomedical Engineering with Management (Healthcare) at the University of Liverpool as it represents a strong opportunity to combine the study of multiple scientific disciplines, from materials design and tissue engineering to project management. Being a person wishful to develop multiple knowledge, I found this course the perfect choice for me. The several team projects I followed made me the team-work-oriented person I am today at the office.

A piece of advice I would like to share to future students is to be curious, to be willing to approach new fields of study, to work hard, and The University of Liverpool will open the doors to an international career.
