DAAD scholarship, MSc Health Data Science

Studying the MSc in Health Data Science at the University of St Andrews has been an extraordinary experience, thanks to the DAAD scholarship. Both the unique academic setting and the vibrant student life are the two main reasons why I highly recommend pursuing a postgraduate degree here. The friendly and welcoming community makes it easy to meet people and form lasting connections and the support from the staff and professors is exceptional.
