We offer PhD, MD and MPhil supervision in Cardiovascular Sciences in areas compatible with the research interests of our academic staff including: Cardiovascular Precision and Stratified Medicine Biomarkers Genomics Imaging Cardiovascular Protection and Intervention Protection Intervention PhD students complete an independent research project under the guidance of a supervisory team. The research is normally completed over a maximum period of 3.0-3.5 years (full-time) or 6.0-6.5 years (part-time). A fourth year (full-time) or seventh year (part-time) or the remaining part of this can be used to prepare the thesis for examination. The thesis should not normally exceed 50,000 words and must make an original contribution to knowledge and contain work of publishable quality. The thesis must then be defended in a viva voce (oral) examination before a degree can be awarded.
