About

The International PhD Academy - Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease PhD programme from University of Leeds is particularly suitable for international students with their own funding who have minimal research experience. Our International PhD Academy focuses on bespoke, personalised training and support.

Overview

Key Features:

Within the International PhD Academy - Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease PhD programme from University of Leeds we have developed a new Academy based within the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine (LICAMM).

Given the worldwide epidemic of diabetes, significant challenges lie ahead in understanding the mechanisms of complications and in developing new strategies for therapeutic intervention. Part of our core mission is to use our expertise to nurture a new generation of scientists who think differently and go on to be instrumental in transforming, understanding and treating cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. We invite you to join us.

Each year will offer up to five places in the Academy for four-year basic science/population studies PhD studentships, available for entry in September/October.

A PhD with us offers you much more than just academic excellence. Our size and diversity mean we can offer you a unique experience which combines our research-based curriculum with a range of opportunities to give you the knowledge, skills and experience to prepare for your future.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • The Foundation Year

This is designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and support to complete your PhD.You will spend 12-week intervals working on two different research investigations and will then progress to your main project, contributing to research as you learn. Bespoke training will be delivered in a complementary manner to the taught component. Your individualised training plan will be agreed within the first month of the course as the outcome of the discussion with your supervisory team and the programme manager.

  • Years 2, 3 & 4

In years 2 and 3 you will focus exclusively on your main PhD project with ongoing training and support as required.

Year 4 will be a progression of years 2 and 3, during which you will commence the writing up of your thesis, ready for submission.

  • The 3-Year Pathway

For applicants with suitable research experience, or with a Master’s degree featuring research modules in a relevant field, we offer a standard three year PhD through our Academy. This variant doesn't include the foundation year, and students will move directly into their PhD project, supported by our expert staff and world-recognised academics.
