Victoria, a Radiographer in research MR at a Neurosciences centre, completed the Edinburgh Imaging Academy Neuroimaging for Research MSc in 2017 & has been applying knowledge gained on our programme to her work throughout her studies. She discusses flexible study, work-life balance, content quality & relevance to working in research. HTML Transcript - NI4R 2017 Victoria - Radiographer, research MR "I studied Neuroimaging for Research. What I enjoyed best was the flexibility of the programme; I could pause, I could take a break and I could return, I was allowed time to interrupt my studies at certain times, so that really helped me with my work, family, schedule. I chose this programme because of the content of the course materials. Very superior & very relevant to what I do, so I greatly encourage anybody who has any interest in imaging to do this programme. The best part of studying online is it works with my personal schedule; I can travel and still be studying, I could have my lectures downloaded on a PDF while on the train and I’m studying, I could multitask & the flexibility that it gave me I think is very, very good. I chose Edinburgh, because Edinburgh has a reputation of having the best materials, the best professors & very supportive environment and atmosphere for learning. I recommend this programme for different reasons. It is great if you want to get that advanced knowledge in neuroimaging & if you have interest in research, you will get everything you need, you will be equipped to carry out your own research independently, so I highly recommend this programme. The online experience gave me good interaction, starting from the lecture materials, to the group; I could leave feedback in the group page, I could email privately if I wanted & I would get a response, so there were different levels of interaction that were very supportive for me. Before the programme, I was very confused about research; I did not quite understand what it took to select a project material & research your need & present it scientifically. But, after this programme I feel very confident that I can independently carry out research, in neuroimaging." - NI4R 2017 Victoria - Radiographer, research MR Relevant links Neuroimaging for Research MSc/ Dip/ Cert This article was published on 2024-08-22
