The opportunity to get familiar with the work of other students was fantastic and it completely fulfilled my expectations.

I found the Nihes programme on the web. Almost too good to be true because it was very focused on the public health classes with emphasis on research. The Nihes programme really emphasizes the research portion and the research paper after one year degree programme. That translates into greatness wherever you go. That was my main motivation for choosing the Netherlands and the Nihes programme.";

The research design was important for me because it asks me to set up and conduct  a research project on a self selected public for over one and a half years which gives me really valuable hands-on experience. Nihes made it possible for me to combine biomedical sciences with epidemiologic research questions. My research project focuses on the search for biomarkers for the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease in serum proteome.
