MultiSci MRC DTP

About MultiSci

The vision of MultiSci is to stimulate the creation of a new generation of life-scientists equipped with the quantitative, technological, and bioscience skills required to conduct cutting edge research across the fundamental and applied medical biosciences. To achieve this we want to recruit from as broad a spectrum of institutions and experience as possible.

All students who start MultiSci at the same time are trained together as part of the same cohort allowing you to build a peer network for learning and support.

All register for the MRes Biomedical Research for Year 1 of the MultiSci programme and must complete MultiSci training in Year 1 and in subsequent years as PhD students.

Further details about MultiSci’s structure, as well as the training you would undertake as a student, can be found here.

MultiSci PhD projects

After your first year of training, all MultiSci students will undertake a 3.5-year PhD project.  Your PhD project will be designed by you, in collaboration with a supervisory team. Projects must align with one or more of the MultiSci’s research themes, and we encourage those that are multi-disciplinary. You will receive support and guidance in deciding on your PhD project during the first year of MultiSci, through project rotations and 1:1 meetings.
