PhD for science graduates
British Heart Foundation 4 year PhD Studentships at UCL

Four BHF studentships will be available to work in any area of cardiovascular biomedicine. Research areas cover stem cells and developmental biology, vascular biology, gene therapy, electrophysiology, therapeutic devices, advanced imaging, cardioprotection, genetics, cell biology, epidemiology and public health sciences.

The first year will provide post-graduate level tuition in relevant basic biology, research skills training, three rotation projects, and opportunities to visit research units and select a PhD project in consultation with prospective supervisors. Further details can be found on the 4yr BHF PhD website.
PhD projects will cover the entire range of cardiovascular research activity across the UCL campus and applicants are advised to familiarise themselves with our research.
Students from maths/physical sciences/systems biology background may be interested in the CoMPLEX schemes, run separately.
