Kit Vincent
Student | Full-time | United KingdomVeterinary Epidemiology
Educational/professional background
BSc in Veterinary Bioscience from the University of Surrey.
Research interests or career goals
My long-term aspiration is to become a veterinary pathologist; I am particularly interested in microbiology within bacteriology and parasitology. I also have a strong interest in climate based disease spread and global health equity, which is one of the reasons why I chose my MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose the RVC/LSHTM Veterinary Epidemiology course for their world class teaching and their focus on statistics, R studio software and research methods. LSHTM uses practical sessions after lectures to help student understand taught content and how it’s applied in the field, which has greatly supported me in my learning. This has been especially beneficial for me as statistics and R studio were skills I’ve previously struggled with.
