I'd like to pursue higher studies in the UK, either from Kingston or Newcastle University. These universities offer short duration courses. These courses are all in my area of interest which is biotechnology. If not the UK, I'd probably consider Germany. Again it has to do with the universities which offer these kind of specialisations.
