Bachelor of Science (Genetics and Genomics)
Asha Golden | BSC (Genetics and Genomics)
These past four years have been pivotal in preparing me for industry. I chose to focus on computer science and statistics modules, which provided me with a solid grasp of statistical methods and hands-on experience with essential software like R and Shiny, crucial in the pharma industry. One of my favourite aspects of the course was its practicality. In my fourth year, a literature review honed my ability to analyse scientific literature, a skill I now use daily to critically appraise research documents and protocols. The program also emphasized effective communication, helping me develop the ability to create and deliver successful presentations, which I regularly do in my current role with Novartis. Without this blend of training, I wouldn’t have been as prepared for my interview or my current position. This programme has equipped me with the tools and confidence to succeed in a pharmaceutical company.
