From a very strong field of 300 applicants, fourteen outstanding students have been awarded Scholarships by the Faculty of Medicine to support their Master\u2019s study and research when they join Imperial in October. Dean\u2019s Scholarships covering fees and a \u00a317,500 stipend were awarded to four exceptional applicants (one home, one EU student and two overseas), while a further ten outstanding students received Faculty Scholarships of \u00a317,500. Of these, two were home students, three EU and five overseas. Many congratulations to our Scholars (listed below).<\/p>\n

\"masters<\/a>\u201cI haven’t been this happy in my life, or maybe I just forgot this level of happiness\u201d
\n\u201cThank you very much for this generous support towards my education – I feel short of words to express my gratitude for this award\u201d
\n\u201cI’m so honoured to have been chosen by the Faculty of Medicine. I appreciate and am humbled by their confidence in my abilities\u201d<\/h3>\n

Scholars are taking programmes across our Master\u2019s portfolio of 31 courses, from MRes \u00a0degrees in Experimental Neuroscience, Cancer Biology, Biomedical Research & Clinical Research (Diabetes & Obesity), through science MSc programmes in Immunology, Human Molecular Genetics, Molecular Medicine, Epidemiology and Paediatrics, to an MEd in Surgical Education and a Master\u2019s in Public Health (Global Health).<\/p>\n

\"masters<\/a>The awards were the culmination of an e-mail and poster advertising campaign which has seen Master\u2019s applicant numbers increase by 22% over the same time last year, and overseas numbers by 34%.\u00a0 Many thanks to our very photogenic 2013-14 scholars (in last year\u2019s precursor to the current scheme), who generously agreed to grace the posters, and to PGT Administrator Jim Osborne for designing them.<\/p>\n

The success of the scheme meant an enormous amount of work to score 300 detailed online \u00a0applications, shortlist 30 candidates for interview, Skype interview each, and decide who would get the Dean\u2019s and who the Faculty awards.\u00a0 This was made possible with the generous help of Laki Buluwela, Kirsten Dalrymple, Andrew Edwards, Dan Elson, Christine Franey, Gary Frost, Steve Gentleman, Mick Jones, Birgit Leitinger, Mark Sullivan and Ernesto Yague.\u00a0 Many thanks to everyone.<\/p>\n

Awarded Dean\u2019s Scholarships:<\/b> Louise Kenny (Surgical Education), Auste Kanapeckaite (Molecular Medicine), Iva Filipovic (Immunology), Jennifer Martin (Human Molecular Genetics)<\/p>\n

Awarded Faculty Scholarships:<\/b> Patricio Alzaraz Couret (Paediatrics), Emily Barnes (Cancer Biology), Mei Ran Abellona U (Biomedical Research), Madeleine Hurry (Experimental Neuroscience), Lakshmi Regnier Cadavieco (Molecular Medicine), Viktoriya Nilolova (Experimental Neuroscience), Alison Ower (Epidemiology), Petros Christofides (Epidemiology), Robin Schafer (Public Health \u2013 Global Health) and Gala Farooq (Clinical Research \u2013 Diabetes & Obesity).<\/p>\n
