We have a well defined PhD training programme that ensures students become experienced in data analysis, literature assessment, report writing and public speaking, in addition to the experience they gain in planning and carrying out a research project. The department has an extensive postgraduate community and close links with other biomedical sciences departments in Glasgow. We also have active collaborations with other universities in the UK and abroad.
Students frequently get the opportunity to present their work abroad at international meetings.
Opportunities are also available in research for undergraduate students via summer vacation scholarships.
