Overview

The CDT at The University of Edinburgh offers an interdisciplinary training Biomedical Artificial Intelligence programme covering technical AI skills, biomedical foundations and individually tailored training on understanding the societal aspects of Biomedical AI.

Features

It builds on a collaboration between several centres of excellence within the University with a long history of collaboration: the School of Informatics, the School of Biological Sciences, the MRC Institute of Genetics and Cancer, the Usher Institute of Population Health Science and Informatics, and the School of Social and Political Sciences.

Together, these institutes provide a unique breadth and depth of expertise, as well as state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities, to support the CDT cohorts.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Following successful completion of your Master by Research, you will proceed to an interdisciplinary PhD project.

You will find supervisors (your MSc experience will help there!) and write a short proposal within the first month of PhD.

Your supervisors will help you develop your proposal, and further feedback will be given by the CDT board.

During your PhD you will be embedded in local research groups, and there will be plenty of opportunities to showcase your work at local, national and international conferences and events.

You will also be encouraged to undertake research visits and internships with our partners.
