PenCLAHRC PhDs
PenCLAHRC has a number of PhD studentships linked to project and priority areas. As well as the scientific quality of the proposal and strength of the supervisory team, these projects were selected on the basis of the following additional criteria:
- Congruence with PenCLAHRC aims
- Link to existing PenCLAHRC projects or themes
- Likelihood of health impact
This is an important area of capacity development to ensure that a pipeline of trained research staff is maintained in the longer term. PenCLAHRC staff are also active as supervisors for other projects across our two University partners.
The PenCLAHRC students are part of the larger Graduate School community and participate in training and events, such as the annual Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry Academic Event where all postgraduates are required to present their projects to colleagues: Our student Kath Maguire won the Best Presentation Prize at the last event which was held in March 2012.
