Programme

The i4health CDT consists of a 1-year MRes followed by a 3-year PhD.

Why study at our Centre?

Strong community: We provide the training and research, but our student cohort brings the CDT to life. The highly supportive environment we provide reflects itself in the close ties our students have built with each other, collaborating on papers and journals and enjoying regular social activities together.
Relevant research: Direct clinical links underpin our doctorates, ensuring that all research projects are relevant and have potential application to the clinical sector. We are able to take advantage of UCL’s strong connections with hospitals and biomedical research centres across London.
Strategic alliances: The CDT is integrated professionally and managerially with elements of the three NIHR Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs) and the Biomedical Research Unit in dementia associated with UCL. Uniquely in the UK, UCL is host to three major NIHR BRCs. We have ties to over 30 healthcare and AI companies, ranging from multinationals to SMEs.

Our training covers everything from modular learning to critical assessment skills and is strongly multi-disciplinary.

Every student under our CDT is allocated a unique research project which aligns to both a methodological imaging and clinical theme.
