MORSE Spotlight: Mareli Augustyn

Mareli Augustyn

BSc MMORSE 2011

MSc in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine 2012

Medical Statistician at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford

I chose MORSE because the variety and flexibility of the course appealed to me over a straight maths degree. From the outset, the course was challenging, especially the first year maths which required a very different way of thinking.

The nature of the course allowed me to choose modules that I found interesting, especially in later years when there was more focus on individual preference. I discovered medical statistics, which I found to be the most engaging and practical of all my modules. I completed my fourth-year dissertation in meta-analysis, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and the enthusiasm and support of my supervisor led me to apply for graduate school.
