Research degrees
In 2013/4 we will offer the following Research Programmes
- MPhil/PhD full-time 3 years, part-time 5 years
- MD(Res) full-time 3 years, part-time 5 years
The research themes represented within ICS include:
- Arrhythmias
- Cardiac Development

- Genetics
- Imaging
- Ischaemic Heart Disease
- Metabolism (diabetes and obesity)
- Prevention
- Regenerative Therapy
- Surgery
- Vascular Biology and Physiology
The ICS also co-ordinates a 4 year PhD programme, funded by the British Heart Foundation, to train students in collaborative research and particularly in the application of mathematical and physical techniques to problems in cardiovascular biology and medicine. This is run as a subsection of CoMPLEX (Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the life Sciences and Experimental Biology). There are now more than 125 members spread across 25 UCL departments, with collaborative projects where biologists and physical scientists are tackling problems of common interest. British Heart Foundation and Research Council studentships and fellowships are occasionally available for MPhil/PhD students.
