In today's show, Dr Prerana Sabnis is joined by three Dementia and Neuroscience MSc Students from University College London. Morgan Daniel, Aiko Robert and Vaiva Zarombaite, discussing what motivated them to this course, what they have been studying and what comes next.

Completing an MSc can prepare you for further study at PhD level, or for those not attracted to academia, it can prepare you lots of great roles in the workplace. When thinking about dementia, an MSc is also a great way for someone who perhaps studies in a non-science related subject to acquire advanced subject knowledge and for everyone to try their hand at extended independent research during their dissertation.

We hope after listening to this show you are motivated consider an MSc or further education yourself. One our website you will find a brand new directory of courses:

One of the aims of Dementia Researcher is to encourage people to consider a career in dementia research, both inside and outside academia. This week, we are very excited to be working with Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Race Against Dementia, Dementias Platform UK and the Dementia Research Institute to deliver our ‘Dementia Research Careers Festival’ as part of National Careers Week.

We have a whole range of activities planned for the week, with live webinars, career blogs, q and a sessions and other activities which we hope will allow you to see how there really are opportunities for everyone, and how dementia really needs more people like you to become involved.
