Training
PhD by research
CNAP is committed to training young researchers in its multi-disciplinary environment. Postgraduates studying within CNAP for their PhD programme are supported by a wide range of sponsors.
As part of the Department of Biology, graduates in CNAP undertake a programme of research, guided by their supervisor and a training panel consisting of an additional two academics with relevant expertise. There is a formal requirement for a range of activities, including taught courses on transferable skills and generic technologies. All graduates have access to the Departmental Technology Facility, ensuring training in new technologies in biological science.
