Following on from the intensive training provided in the core courses and advanced courses over the first two terms, you will spend the remainder of your first year undertaking two 11-week research projects in two different research groups within the partner universities. Assignment of projects will be based on your priorities: at least one project will be at your allocated host university. These projects will be tailored to meet the likely requirements of your substantive PhD project. You will be required to write a short dissertation on each of these rotations, written in the style of a journal article.
