    This programme offers, through field trips, a unique opportunity to visit animal husbandry farms from year one and gain hands-on experience. I find these experiences critical for developing a well-rounded understanding of veterinary medicine and for gaining invaluable practical skills that can be applied in my future professional endeavours.

I had also worked in the betting industry so digital currencies was a natural progression for me, incorporating some aspects of my previous jobs. UNIC’s MSc was really enjoyable, with the focus on meeting and discussing aspects of the technology with other students from diverse backgrounds, academically and geographically!
