Overview
At University of Leeds, we seek to create a new generation of scientists from a broad range of disciplines who think differently and go on to transform the understanding and treatment of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes. We don’t expect you to be the finished article from the start.
Features
- We provide a supportive, nurturing environment to maximise the opportunities on offer, allowing you to develop and grow, experiencing a broad range of science in addition to your own chosen project.
Programme Structure
Research
- Programme PhD projects address the challenge of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and include 2 mini-projects in Year 1, which can be outside the laboratory of the primary supervisor but closely related to your main area of research.
- This provides the opportunity to spend all 4 years primarily directed towards your main PhD project while retaining the option to change direction and/or supervisors during Year 1 if properly justified.
- Final selection of your PhD project and supervisors occurs by 9 months when a proposal is provided to the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
