I finished school in 1984.
I did 4 years undergrad in mathematics (with some extras like biology and chemistry).
I did 2 years on a masters.
I did 2 years on an ScD degree – that’s a doctor of science degree – like a PhD.
That takes me up to 1992.
I got a job in University of Edinburgh in a maths and stats department from 92-95.
From 1995 I’ve been working on infectious disease epidemiology – first at University of Oxford and then Imperial College London working with a lot of the same people whom I joined in 1995.

Hi Neve. I finished my a-levels in 2008 and did a maths degree at Warwick university from 2008-2012. Then I did a masters degree (2012-2013), which was a more specialised maths degree to prepare me for using maths to model diseases.
Then in 2013 I started my PhD, which is a big 3 to 4 year research project. It is kind of like training to be a scientist by doing your first big project. You have a supervisor who helps and at the end you have to write a big report (called a thesis) which gets read by 2 examiners who decide if you pass or fail! I’ve nearly finished that, so I’ve been a scientist / training to be a scientist for 3 and a half years.
