University of Pennsylvania Reviews of Master's in Biomedical Sciences

"Penn provided a wonderfully flexible, challenging, supportive, and friendly environment. It really was a personalized program and I continue to benefit professionally from being part such a wonderful community."

"The University of Pennsylvania created a very comfortable, friendly environment for its students. The school encouraged and facilitated communication among different departments and schools, and this greatly enhanced my personal and professional experience. It was rigorous and rewarding and I'm thankful to have attended."

"I have found the program to be excellent in both research opportunities and coursework. Moreover, I am impressed by level of interest and mentoring that the faculty have for their students. All of the faculty that I have met thus far have been incredibly supportive and willing to give advice. The atmosphere is highly collaborative, and, most importantly, the quality of the science is top-notch. Students work very hard but quality of life is good, and there are lots of opportunities to interact with graduate students from other programs. Overall, I am very pleased with my decision to attend the University of Pennsylvania for my graduate degree."

"There is not much international students in the program. However, I received a lots of support and encouragement from professors, senior student as well as classmates. The academic environment is perfect, and of course it's going a long with a bit hard workload. I can overcome it with supports from UPenn and so do you. Life and transportation in Philadelphia is so great. I can go anywhere without worrying about having a car. UPenn was and is my first choice for graduate school."

"U Penn offers top of the line immunology research environment for students, along with quality mentorship from a department full of investigators at the top of their fields."

"major pros: very strong academic research, nice people! major cons: not enough support for career development.."
