Why did you choose the research master in Neurosciences at VU Amsterdam?
I am from Spain and I couldn't find a Master's programme there that would offer both fundamental and clinical specialisations as part of the programme. I did some research and the Netherlands offered very interesting programmes in neuroscience, including the Neurosciences master at VU, where I applied and luckily got accepted.
What was your background (Bachelor's)?
Biomedical Sciences at the University of Barcelona.
What did you like the most about this research master? / What aspects of this master did you find most useful/interesting?
The fact that you can choose a clinical/fundamental track in the second year. I really enjoyed the elective courses from the clinical track.
When did you finish this master?
In August 2023.
What are you doing now? / What is your current professional focus/occupation?
I was offered the opportunity to extend my contract at Danone Nutricia, where I was doing the internship for my second year Neurosciences Master's programme. My role is Junior Medical Affairs Manager in Conditions of Aging. I am working on a medical food that is intended for the dietary management of early Alzheimer's Disease.
