DPhil in Cardiovascular Science
Course Code | 001775
This 4-year DPhil programme, funded by the British Heart Foundation, provides students with a co-ordinated programme of postgraduate teaching in their first year and the possibility of experiencing research in more than one laboratory, followed by a three-year research project under the guidance of a named supervisor.
Students selected for the DPhil programme have their University and Colleges paid in full, and receive a stipend to cover their living costs.
This programme is aimed at basic science graduates who wish to undertake advanced research into cardiovascular disease; clinicians should consider applying to the Cardiovascular Medicine DPhil programme.
Twenty-three research groups, based seven departments and research centres, contribute to the Cardiovascular Science programme. Their research spans very diverse areas and covers the translational research spectrum from basic to clinical cardiovascular research.
Research themes include:
- Cardiac development, cardiac imaging and stem cells
- Cardiovascular epidemiology, genetics and gene transfer
- Cardiovascular signalling, vascular inflammation and pharmacology
- Integrated physiology and systems biology
- Myocardial biology and disease
How to ApplyThe deadline for this course is 6
