Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Sports (Coaching and Development) - Top-up] From University of Central Lancashire

We offer 5 fellowships per year funded by the Wellcome Trust, plus an additional 2 fellowships per year funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, covering the broad themes of genetic medicine, infection and immunity, neuroscience and mental health, structural and cell biology applied to medicine, cardiovascular medicine, developmental biology, and epidemiology, public health and primary care.

Studentships are advertised in September-October each year for entry the following year. The programmes includes a series of lectures, workshops, and taught modules aimed at developing a personal portfolio of training. There is also the opportunity for a 3 month Ôout of programme experienceÕ (OOPE) for individuals who do not hold academic clinical fellowships.

ÊDuring this time you will attend appropriate lectures, workshops, meet a range of supervisors and undertake mini-projects in laboratories in your area of interest that enable students to select a PhD supervisor and second supervisor, and to prepare a PhD research proposal in the form of a ÔProject Grant ApplicationÕ.

Students on the 4-year programme in epidemiology, public health and primary care, undertake an MPhil before embarking on a PhD.

Students attend a two day Introduction Course for graduate students at the start of the programme, and also attend various transferable skills training sessions throughout the year. It is expected that students spend approximately two weeks each year on transferable skills training. The Graduate School provides a large selection of both taught and online courses to choose from.
