BBSRC Doctoral Training Programme in Comparative Medicine
This four-year BBSRC-funded PhD in Comparative Medicine offered by the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences is a multidisciplinary programme targeted at veterinary graduates and biomedical scientists committed to animal health, which will provide training "from the molecule to the whole animal, and beyond to populations".
This training programme is structured on a one-plus-three year format centred on three connected primary themes and a set of generic scientific skills and responsibilities. During Year 1, students will receive formal intensive training delivered by teaching modules/practical sessions and 3 laboratory placements. Completion of the first year will lead to an MRes degree. Years 2-4 will be dedicated to a traditional hypothesis-driven research project culminating with the writing of a PhD thesis.
