Thomas Italo Grima Master It The Master It scholarship program enabled me to further specialize in my area without incurring a large financial burden. This allowed me to concentrate on studying and researching around the subject while broadening my horizons. Studying at University College London was a unique experience, which allowed me to engage in top quality research, as well as lectured by some of the best in the industry, while building professional and personal relationships. By furthering my understanding of biomaterials and tissue engineering I have equipped myself with unique tools to help me tackle life and medical sciences projects and research activities. Master It helped me to make the right decision to carry on studying after my bachelor’s degree was in hand. Without the program I might have thought otherwise to keep on going.
